Not being in a position of authority gives you exactly zero credentials to question authority. Not being an "authority" also implies that you don't have any "responsibility".

Since you can't really understand "authority" until you are held "responsible", you really must admit that you don't know what you are talking about.

Not being in a position of authority gives you exactly zero credentials to question authority.

That's kind of a dangerous statement. Taken to its logical conclusion, it means that the average American has no right to challenge their leaders.
