Nations and Sports Have Both Written And Unwritten Rules Of Behavior
Hi folks, There's an old quote that came to my mind today, whilst I was sitting, well attempting to sit, in the Bus Station in Alicante, Spain, which goes as follows: "Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it" Henry David Thoreau Rules are interesting and important facts of life, some of which make life work and others can make it a hell.
