How on earth have I missed that encapsulation of a conservatism that is a good balance for liberalism (or progessivism)? When you can explain what that rule might have been good for, you can seriously discuss changing it.
That's what kills me about GOP deregulation. It's purely profit driven, without concern for actual effects. I'm okay with improving regulations. But that take time and effort and isn't amenable to the reckless clearcutting approach.
