I've been known to drive ~5 MPH over the posted speed limit on the highway.
I have occasionally pulled the tags off of a mattress once I bought it.
I also wore white the other day - two days after Labor Day.
I realize that none of the other posters here do any of these things, because it would be against the rules, and it's unreasonable to summarily make a decision that certain rules are worthy of neglect.

I think you are referring to revolutionary thinkers who thought outside convention like Copernicus, etc. I see a huge difference between a line jumper and someone who can conceptualize outside what is currently "known."

Correct. It's a silly, elitist game.

I am well aware of the prisoner's dilemma. That's why I specifically stated that I prefer it when others observe the rules, allowing me to maximize my benefit were I to flout them. Conveniently, many folks will NOT break the rules, even as others do and gain advantage on those poor rule-observers.
