The Pottery Barn Rule

You break it; you own it, the Secretary said.

Not quite right, I think.

You break it; the shelves come down on top of you.
You break it; other things tumble and break.
You break it; you slip and fall.
You break it; you roll around on the broken glass.
You break it; you cut yourself and bleed.
You break it; you cannot get up and leave.

Owning has little to do with it.
