Rules or Rebels

Do we need rules for every single thing in the world? A set guideline to follow when we're lost?  The rules of punctuation "provide" for us just that, but instead of helping us it's limiting us in an ever-changing society.  There is supposedly a set list of punctuation rules in the English language, but this is false; we pretend to know every single punctuation rule in the English language, but this is practically impossible-- there are too many.  We cannot continue this charade of pretending to know everything when it's clearly false.  The rules of punctuation are limiting and suffocating. We need to be able to express ourselves when we write. I'm not saying that we should get rid of every. single. punctuation. rule. ever. but we don't need half the comma rules that are in existence today. It seems pointless, to try to argue over something that probably will not change even though it needs to.  Also, we've changed these rules before and let them evolve in their respective societies.  Do you really think the English language hasn't evolved since 1066? Well, guess what, it has changed. So being opposed to changing the rules doesn't make sense at all, since they will eventually change to fit our society better. Always question the man, in this case it's punctuation.
