I am amazed by the frequency with which our elected officials, politicians and public servants seem to place themselves above us common folk. Whether refusing a subpoena they deem inappropriate or not cooperating with an investigation they view as “tainted,” they certainly do not provide a positive example for the rest of us to follow.

It is hard to fathom how hard our local police department’s job would be, or how crowded our jail may become, if each of us were allowed individually to determine the validity of a subpoena or investigation.
