My Thoughts

Notions of social justice and utility are often sabotaged by someone bringing up the rarest of exceptions and tossing the baby out with the bathwater. I am sure, if you put forth an argument saying it is unhygienic and revolting to crap on the floor of a restaurant, someone will plead the case of the one-in-a-billion victim of a mental illness that makes them defecate in public and we'll all gnash our teeth and pull our hair and scrap the rule. A legitimate exception to a maxim should be respected, but not at the cost of handcuffing society as a whole.
