it's perhaps as well to remind everyone that Jeff is in Texas, where the habits of the lawless Wild West have not yet given way to the march of civilization. "No real rules" means do whatever you can get away with and, when in doubt, draw your gun. (See anything said by G.W. Bush since last year.)

Come to think of it, maybe it's time to remind Jeff that Texas, big and noisy as it is, is still not the whole world. Some of us live in places where the politics are a little less dirty and the deck isn't always stacked against good citizenship.
