Yes, the rules need changing, and that's a damned shame. Rules are constraints on individual freedoms of choice that are imposed on everyone, necessitated by the few misfits in society that were not born and bred to distinguish right from wrong. You are certainly right in your observation that all rules (or lack thereof) are used to advantage by somebody. Slick Willy didn't do anything wrong - there weren't any laws he could be pinned with. Any number of military leaders that have been tried for hideous war crimes have argued they were only following orders (rules) set down by their leader(s). Many were and will be ultimately judged on moral and ethical standards that were/are accepted by their judges as superseding the rules they were conforming to. I am just fine with that, and likewise just fine with JR applying his standards in judging Horrace Cain and Sandy Frank as unacceptable for leadership roles. I've always done the same; leaders that are acceptable to me don't need a rulebook to know how to act.
