Much like my anger at policiticians who pass laws like the DMCA without any direct understanding of technology today or how the software industry even works.

Okay, so you were pissed you had shitty teachers. How does that translate into a general dislike for authority? You were mad because your teachers weren't teaching you at the level you wanted them to, so you decided to rebel? I still don't get it. Why didn't you just learn more about computers on your own? Why did you think their incompetence had anything to do with your learning?

And in regards to "Wow. You're going to have a difficult life if you continue thinking you're so much better than everyone else." -- could you clarify? I never said "everyone," but the majority -- yes. And why would knowing that I'm better than them make my life difficult? If anything, it should make my life easier. This gives me the ability to know who I can trust with important tasks, and who I cannot. If I were disregarding others because they were lesser than me, that would be one thing -- but simply acknowledging it? I'm curious to see how you could defend this?

A lot of people dislike arrogance.
I had written up a longer response, but first I just want to ask you why you think you're better than the majority of people?
