Playing by the Rules
On Dec. 27, The Times reported that a growing proportion of the Americans standing in soup kitchen lines were “people who are working, playing by the rules, trying to hold their families together.”
Another article on the same day recounted the sordid history of Jim Waldorf, a man who became a multimillionaire by legally selling cheap murder weapons. He, too, for the most part, played by the rules.
Clearly, the time has come to change the rules.
