To me, authority is something that a freer spirit, a more independent mind, and a person who can handle the world, doesn't need guidance from.
In adolescence you have to separate yourself and establish your identity. So, being very independent anyway, I took charge.
Keep in mind, the news media are not independent; they are a sort of bulletin board and public relations firm for the ruling class-the people who run things. Those who decide what news you will or will not hear are paid by, and tolerated purely at the whim of, those who hold economic power. If the parent corporation doesn't want you to know something, it won't be on the news. Period. Or, at the very least, it will be slanted to suit them, and then rarely followed up.
Catholic school gave me the tools to reject the very religion they wanted me to have. They taught me how to think for myself and to be independent.

In labor news, longshoremen walked off the piers today; rescue operations are continuing

Philosophers for a long time have said 'why are we here?' - I'm here for the entertainment. If you're born in the world, you're given a ticket to the freak show; if you're born in America, you get a front row seat.
Excuse me, officer, but would you mind bringing the wreckage a little closer this way? My wife can't see
They call it the 'American Dream' because you have to be asleep to believe it.
What are you going to do, play with your prick for another 20 to 30 years,>Read People Magazine your whole life...? Take a freakin' chance!
Baseball is the only major sport that appears backward in a mirror
Cop didn't see it, I didn't do it!
I've never had a 10, but one night I had five twos
