One learns as far back as school years that you should never question or apparently challenge a bureaucrat, whether that individual is a teacher, a lunch room aid, school bus driver, etc., as your life becomes a living hell as long as you are stuck in that person’s line of authority. This continues through your adult life, whether you anger a building or health inspector, a clerk in Motor Vehicles, a cop “controlling” crowds, etc. Unfortunately, it gets worse when you are in a business world situation. Question the authority of an NLRB agent, challenge a position of a minion of the Department of Labor, or, heavens forbid, contest a claim from a savior of the world from the EPA, and you or your client can end up, as did the nursing home owners, in economic disasters, even though you succeed in proving you were right all along. Such are the horrors of life in the most free society on this planet, and we have no one to blame but ourselves by our surrendering of our freedoms to the insatiable maws of governmental regulators.
