New question

I have a "what's your take" question for everyone, that I'm not sure I'll word correctly, but here goes. Do these books glorify rule-breaking? By that I
mean the attitude that rules are fine unless you need to ignore them, and you get to decide when that is, and the end justifies the means? Kind of like my
dad, who seemed sometimes to believe in rules in theory but not in practice (i.e., he thought pollution controls and obligatory added equipment on older
vehicles was great, but not on *his* truck, since he couldn't afford it and clearly he should be excepted, they should be reasonable, etc.). It just
occurred to me that this was a possible interpretation, and as this is the first possibly negative meta-message I've detected in these books, I wondered
what you all thought.
