Obedience and Authority
James Leroy Wilson at The Partial Observer - a new look at Stanley Milgram's psychology experiment. [root]
We would do well to train our children to be rebels, to be disobedient. We should teach them to refuse to do anything they believe to be wrong. That an order to inflict suffering is unjust and the "authority" that gives the order is illegitimate.
The sooner people refuse to obey unjust orders from authority figures, the sooner wars will end and tyranny will disappear.
