    Samantha Atkins:

    The first notion that we Americans have an overblown respect for
    authority
    really is a shocker though. We'uns fairly well invented disrespect for
    governmental authorities and threw a successful revolution to underline
    the
    point and supposedly formed governing documents precisely to limit and
    constrain such authority and keep it out of folks' hair as much as
    possible.
    Now, it obviously wasn't a rousing success or we wouldn't be where we
    are
    now. I wonder if our schools simply neglected to teach such things to
    a few
    generations?

    Oh dear. Samantha and I agree on something.
