> I'm curious as to how other people feel about rules. Do you see rules as constraining or, conversely, do you see them as freeing you to do as you wish within safe and well defined boundaries?
Both. There's a tradeoff in everything, finding the optimal equilibrium is the key. Too few rules may be scary and too many suffocating; unfortunately our preferences differ from one individual to the next, so it's hard to find the optimal balance as a society. Basic economics.
