The tale is told of Boudreaux, out on the bayou, fishing by dropping sticks of dynamite over the side, waiting for the “boom” and scooping the fish out with a net. After he’s done this four or five times, the game warden came out and said, “Boudreaux, you know you ain’t supposed to be fishin’ that way.”

Boudreaux paid him no mind. Lighting up another stick of dynamite, he handed it to the game warden and said, “You gonna talk or you gonna fish?”

Some folks are always trying to find a way around the rules. Rules are made for a reason, and if everyone violated the rules, there would be chaos. That’s why our prisons are overcrowded. And, why is it that in a land famous for freedom, America has more people incarcerated per capita than any other nation on earth? Should there be limits on freedom? What do you think?
