If you can still imagine a civilized society without a certain rule, then that rule is mean to be broken at least once. If I could go back in time to my teenage years, more than anything else I'd make more mistakes and break more rules. I'd cut classes, I'd tell more lies to my parents, I'd try beer a lot earlier than I did, I'd play more pranks on my teachers, I'd get punished a lot more and I'd certainly fool around a lot more. The problem with being an example is that an example is not the real thing -- it's like those worked out sums you get in your math books. They're just examples.
