   Exactly. I listed the obvious things like work and school but there are   
   obviously a great many more reasons to leave your zone.

   I'd be truly shocked if they had to live by the same rules; they ALWAYS   
   seem to exempt themselves from the restrictions they impose on others,   
   either formally or unofficially. (In the latter case, they are   
   theoretically required to follow the same rules but whoever enforces the   
   rule simply never notices the leaders breaking the rules because they   
   value their job or freedom.)
