Better believe it. Milgram proved it with his experiments years ago.
Authority figures can have and will take full advantage of this....if you let them, that is.

The Milgram experiment on obedience to authority figures was a series of notable experiments in social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram, which measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with their personal conscience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment)

This is the kind of stuff that needs to be taught far and wide, and more importantly, how to resist falling prey to it.
You can start by always questioning authority.

Wow! The trick was done a few months before 911! Imagine what people would do now?

Yeah, that Milgram stuff was wild. He'd set up an authority figure to order people to give a random fellow an electric shock. The guy was actually an actor and not being shocked, but would cry out in pain and beg the person to stop, but the fake "authority figure" would order them to continue shocking the actor, and many times they would. Amazing stuff.

Seems that most people like having a nanny type authority figure in their lives to make all the hard decisions for them.

That's how I feel about people choosing to move into an HOA. It's mind-boggling to me that anyone would want to relinquish (and pay for) that type of control over their property.
