Are there really endangered lizards in the U.S.? I just think of lizards as things from a completely different part of the world, because I never see them here in PA...

anyway. Laws apply wherever and whenever they should (as defined by themselves and other laws). If there's some special case that warrants an exception, that will be determined by a judge--but you can still be arrested for jaywalking and you still probably won't win a lawsuit if you're hit by a car. The law isn't necessarily unconditionally correct, but it does unconditionally apply.

I admit that I'm the kind of person who would question and challenge rules or statements I'm given, but I recognize that even if a law is unreasonable it still has to be honored to "maintain order."

Back to the poll...I agree that I should never break a rule as a FIRSTer, as a member of my team, as a leader, and as a student. Breaking rules is wrong. Once in a while it happens anyway, and when I do break a rule, I usually willingly take the risk of suffering consequences. Nonetheless, it's never OK.
