I just came across a copy of the rules from Straight and they are unbelievable. Here's some of my favorites.
#2. What you see here, what you hear here, what you do here--remains here.
( We know what this was all about. )
#6. No borrowing money, candy, or cigarettes.
( Hell there was no smoking. )
#22. No telling your parents your host parent's names or phone number.
( Fear of information leaking out ?? )
#35. No 98 ROCK or Saturday Night Live.
( Enjoyment is not allowed. )
#37. No Leaning or slouching.
( No telling how many brusies on my back from having some asshole poke me with his finger to make me sit up and motivate. )
#40. Hang on tight to newcomers by the beltloop.
( The key word is beltloop not back of the pants creating MEGA-WEDGIE.)
#51. No "R" rated movies.
( Must be like Mr Rogers. )
To the extent that a society limits its government to policing functions which curb the individuals who engage in aggressive and criminal actions, and conducts its economic affairs on the basis of free and willing exchange, to that extent domestic peace prevails. When a society departs from this norm, its governing class begins, in effect, to make war upon the rest of the nation. A situation is created in which everyone is victimized by everyone else under the fiction of each living at the expense of all.
