RACHEL MADDOW LISTED HER RULES FOR LIVING AND CHALLENGED HER VIEWERS TO DO THE SAME

I thought I'd give it a try. 

It is good now and then to reevaluate 

your relationship with your self. Only After I'd made my own list 

did I discovered that I live my life by bumper stickers.

Here are Maddow's rules for living:

Maddow Rule #1: Don't lie.
Maddow Rule #2: Don't threaten to shoot people.
Maddow Rule #3: Never underestimate a breakfast implement.

Snowball's rules for living:

1. Don't lie.
2. Don't whine.
3. Don't hold grudges. (You only hurt yourself)
4. Don't forget your shoes on a hot day. (really important in CA)
5. Always eat dessert first.
6. Question authority. (but not your mother)
7. Read banned books.
8. Speak truth to power with humor and a smile.
9. Don’t worry about what idiots think, they don’t do it very often.
10. Walk your talk. (Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.) 
11. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you’ve never tried before.
12. Never lick a steak knife. (I confess, I lifted this from the comments - but it is important)

Because,
in the imortal words of buckaroo bansai:

Wherever you go, there you are.
