Attitude: Deal With It, Friday, Period 2

"Yo, Rookies! Today, we're gonna talk about a topic that's near an' dear to my heart, yo. We're gonna talk about rules." See, that wasn't so bad, was it? "And breakin' 'em."

Ah.

"The thing about honin' your attitude is that you gotta figure out just when the rules you're lookin' at are friggin' ridiculous, yo. Do this? Don't do that? Okay, that's cool. But what harm is there in chewin' bubblegum in the classroom? An' why the hell should anyone care if you're sittin' around in the mall for a few hours doin' nothin', just so long as you ain't hurtin' nobody? An' why you gotta have short, naturally-colored hair to get a job out there? Who the hell are those tattoos an' piercings even hurtin', anyhow?"

Yeah, Reno was totally the type to loiter, with his long hair and pierced ears and tattooed face. But he usually did so while well-armed, and nobody generally bothered him as a result.

"Today, we're gonna talk about different rules you've seen around that just don't make no friggin' sense to you, and you're gonna tell me how you think doin' those things ain't hurtin' nobody, and just how you plan on goin' about breakin' it. An' if anybody sees a reason why the rule you wanna break is valid, they're gonna go right ahead and tell you why, yo. This class is about separatin' the rules from the guidelines, but if someone's gonna legitimately get hurt over this shit, I ain't havin' none of that, yo."

Reno was a real sweetheart when he wanted to be. So there.

"Something being common doesn't make it any less stupid," Astrid said, "so if you're going to break rules for stupid reason, you'd better hope the rules you're breaking are equally stupid. There's safety, security, sanity. A kid stealing bread because he's starving isn't stupid; that's survival. A kid stealing a video game to impress his friends or just to prove that he can, that's stupid."

"I wasn't inquiring about the inherent stupidity of any of the actions," Rufus said dryly.

But, like, sure. Okay, Astrid.

Astrid snorted, just faintly. "No," she agreed, "you weren't. But that wasn't the only thing I said, either."
