      Funny, because as a little kid who wanted to do everything “the right way” and who got in trouble when I didn’t “follow directions,” I also got in trouble for helping kids that didn’t know/pay attention to given directions. Apparently that’s called “bossy” and it’s wrong?

      Truth is: there is no right choice. It depends entirely on the authority figure around at the moment and whatever preconceived notions they have about you. Hell yeah I have a problem with authority. If they followed rules as consistently as they expect those in their charge to, I’d actually have respect for them.

        Yeah, some of my favourite books revolve around the crazy fantastical idea of having people in charge who are intelligent, competent, and have working morals.

        Reading is an escape from reality.
