Above the Law

By Mary Kugler, Erma

To the Editor: 
I don’t know about anyone else, but I have never seen in any of our historical documents, where it says, if you have money, position or power, that you are above the law, although, there are quite a few who believe they are.
How anyone would think they could do as they please, regardless of the consequences to anyone else, and get away with it, is beyond me. Why have any rules at all if not everyone has to obey them?
I don’t remember seeing “If you’re a “big shot,” self-proclaimed or not, you can do as you please. I also don’t recall anywhere where it says you can treat others like “dirt,” drive the way you like, and be rude and nasty because you feel like it, but people seem to think so. There is no regard for human, or any other type of life. It amazes me.
What’s worse, when they get caught, they try to throw someone else “under the bus” so our thoughts are taken from them! Chaos and misdirection are popular tactics.
Look at the election, a perfect example. I’ve never seen it as bad as this. The things that are being said and insinuated. It’s a disgrace. I don’t know what this world is coming to.
You “go by the book,” obey the law, then you see, or experience, ” injustice,” and watch them get away with it because they have a ” name, position, money, or political pull.
No one is a God. Everyone is supposed to obey the laws . Just like the speed limit signs on the road. They don’t say, everyone needs to go the limit, except you. You can drive like “Fred Flintstone” coming home on the freeway if you want, or be disrespectful to others or their property, or twist the law to suit you. We see this all the time.
Whether it makes the news, or it’s in your hometown, it’s still not right that people can “bend” the rules to suit them. So what will it take? How far are we willing to go to eliminate “injustice?” Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?
