Question authority
 |
"Question authority" is a popular bumper sticker slogan which first appeared in the late 1970s, and a common graffiti slogan. It is intended to encourage people to avoid [fallacious] appeals to authority. The origin of the phrase is sometimes attributed to Timothy Leary[citation needed]. Enlightenment polymath Benjamin Franklin was often quoted[citation needed] as saying "it is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority." The term can also be read humorously as a noun phrase signifying "someone who is an authority on the subject of questions."
