Not to nitpick, but since you're arguing with me over your own words, words you say you didn't use but actually did, here they are:

"Is vehement aversion to arbitrarily dispensed authority a sign of age or personality?"

That's your opening post's title, that you wrote... so... yeah, you did say it, and that's why we're arguing about that point.

rainheart:

Your analogy of civil disobedience is a bit of a fallacy because such displays are rarely, if ever, about the automatic gainsay of rules, but rather based on a perceived oppression or rights violation... such problems are typically concerning civil liberties or civil rights, and hardly arbitrary.
