Reply #34: Well, rules can be changed. [View All]

Anybody ever broach the subject of refining the rules a little so the mission to provide housing for the homeless can be expanded to include both houses AND apartments? Why can't that at least be brought up?

I'm serious. You'd be surprised to see how much limited thinking there is out there. So we can't modify and adjust the rules to meet changing and evolving need? If the need changes, why should the policies created to meet that need not also change correspondingly? I mean, why does our Constitution have amendments? What was Vatican II? Why do we have revised textbooks? Why do we have regular updates/revisions on everything from Thomas Brothers map books to dictionaries to how many frickin' planets we have in the solar system? Those rules have to be set in stone for all time??? Has ANYONE spoken of challenging or revising or updating or modifying them? And if the answer's no, then WHY?
