[NSRCA-discussion] Electric/IC ...was Arming Plug/Receptacle Problem

[Atwood, Mark]

Agree ... But were not talking about safety here (the 55 limit).  That would be my only contradiction. 

Changing a sport for safety happens all the time.

I would suggest that factoring in the REASON for a rule change, could 
grossly change the idea of "ruining" every sport.  Four strikes and you're 
out?  Five downs and out?  55 mph for a national speed limit?  I'd suggest 
that all rules should be continuously looked at in their context. Whimsical 
changes?  No.  favoring somebody or some group?  No.  Rules changed for 
changing conditions?  Yes.   Or so I see it.  Maybe I'm just old school. 
Very, very old school.<G>
