Then it's a win-win.

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

It's amazing, people will criticize you for "biting the hand that feeds you," while they're busy praising the hand that beats them.

Based on almost every post you make.
Can we all just agree you hate authority, are not happy cops have a monopoly on it, and that you will just keep finding stories ad nausium? Can we stipulate this and you can stop your incessant complaining?

Stemming from that, authority one agrees to submit to, ie, ones boss. You agree to submit to their authority in the office, or wherever you work, when you agree to work there, on account of it being their company. Earned authority, that is, for example one being an authority on a matter/subject. This, of course, is different than the previous examples, in that there is no obligation to "submit" to it. That is, you obviously remain free to disagree.

So my statement was too broad in that you have authority over yourself, and those you choose to be subserviant to such as a boss. So pretty much my first statement stands thank you.

How does that support your statement that I hate authority?
I "hate" "authority" claimed over others against their will. What did they call that again? I think it started with an "s."

A republic. Starts with an r not an s.
You do know you are free to leave, and have your own utopian state run as you wish right? Just leave. Get out! Not that tough. If your ideas are SO perfect, shouldn't be long before we have the answer and a modle to follow.

If you have to ask permission, you aren't "free."

With all due respect, that is the stupidest thing you have said.
And, also, you do hate authority.

"At the city gate and by your fireside I have seen you prostrate yourself and worship your own freedom,
Even as slaves humble themselves before a tyrant and praise him though he slays them. Ay, in the grove of the temple and in the shadow of the citadel I have seen the freest among you wear their freedom as a yoke and a handcuff. And my heart bled within me; for you can only be free when even the desire of seeking freedom becomes a harness to you, and when you cease to speak of freedom as a goal and a fulfilment." Kahlil Gibran |
