So they didn&#x27;t follow the rules, and bad things happened?  Each of us can probably think of a time when we didn&#x27;t follow the rules, usually for more minor things (speed limits, etc).<p>Something about politicians&#x2F;bureaucrats makes them bold enough to think that rules don&#x27;t apply to them, but on a totally different scale. I would like to understand why -- does anybody know?
