I'm fine on agreeing on a definition for the context of a discussion. If we are using your definition of authority, then I agree. 

Anyway you should be careful, because you first start calling authority when it is voluntary, and you end up accepting, because of ignorance or mal-education, any kind of authority.
We should make a clear distinction between leadership and authority. One implies voluntary participation, the other one implies submission.

 I think we're all in overall agreement that government = bad. I may be using the word "authority" differently than you, but ultimately we agree, and are on the same side of this debate.

Do you believe in authority?

Basically what i said to @DarthCoin I think we're all in overall agreement that government = bad. I may be using the word "authority" differently than you, but ultimately we agree, and are on the same side of this debate.
