On Authority

[forsyth]

Isn't it amazing how pretty much everybody with authority, me included, tends to react the same way to a threat to their authority? Whatever kind of authority it is, and however it was earned or given, the first instinct is to use that authority to squelch the challenge to the authority.

Which just proves that the first motive of power is almost always to maintain power.
