I was pretty much a conformer as a kid; but the older I get, the more I realize that many institutions are poorly run and often run mainly for the benefit of the staff -- and I'm talking gov't agencies, schools, churches and nonprofit organizations.

So if somebody comes at me waving their authority of office, I have to say I don't really respect the authority anymore; only the person who's wielding it, if and when they've shown that they're worthy of respect.
