  2. But if the rule has consequences (making Leibe barf) does that really make it an arbitrary rule? Seriously, Daniela. You've got to have some standards here :)

    I don't get it...arbitrary means random right? What does the dog barfing have to do with a new, random rule??? So the dog barfs each time it eats raisins, the new rule is no feeding them to the dog. Hmmmmm
