Kevin--

>Can get one in trouble when the son arranges an accident for
>the father.

Now there's a nice plotline for an adventure. A Renraku
exec dies, and his son steps into the position. The old man's
bodyguard (a Red Samurai) suspects that the son did it...
Or look at Yamatetsu; one of the "old school" board
members hires some 'runners to "prove" that the guy in charge killed
his father...

>And there were houses that ceased to exist for that reason.

Yes, there certainly were. Talk about Darwinian self-selection;
only a human can do something like this.

>Personal difference- those don't change, regaurdless of time frame,
IMO.

Yes and no; the definition of "right conduct" is very different
between a Japanese culture and an American or Western culture. The same
goes for "loyalty"; no sane runner would lay down his life for Mr.
Johnson just because Mr. Johnson says "kill yourself."

>And they laugh every time someone says "street sam"

Presumably they don't laugh if the character in question has
established that he lives by those rules... <g>

Would "Street Op" be a better term than "Street Sam?"
