    Useful 'Question Authority!' Links

    Most of the links above are obviously {spurious;} some were even created expressly to prove that there is questionable information on the net. But don't be fooled into thinking that it is always easy to spot trouble: when in doubt, question authority.

    Here is a little something from John R. Henderson's great ICYouSee: T is for Thinking site. John is a librarian at Ithaca College, and I haven't found anyone who puts it better:

    Who coined the phrase 'Question Authority!'? Look at five or six different Web sites and you might get six or eight different answers. Tofa's Quote Collection attributes it to J. Baldwen %5Bsic%5D. Several sites attribute the quote to Timothy Leary (with several different versions of the quote and several different spellings of his name). However, on a Web page from Timothy Leary's record label, Mouth Almighty (which appears to have tuned out and dropped off the Web), Dr. Leary was quoted as saying that Socrates is responsible for the quote. Many Web pages simply credit the bumper sticker. Some are more specific than that:

    o The Hippieland Glossary indicates it was a bumper sticker from the {sixties;}
    o An American Demographics author says it came from the seventies.
    o Still another doesn't mention the particular decade but insists it was a Unitarian-Universalist bumper sticker.
