This quote from a Salon article on the polices refusal to follow Sunshine Laws in the Michael Brown case could be applied to just about every issue going on today in this country: “We cannot wait for ‘leaders’ to do the job for us. In fact that notion of leadership–or authority–is part of the problem that got us here in the first place,” Grapski told Salon. “We all must ‘lead’ as citizens–which is the highest office in a democratic society.” From hoping for a Magic President to save us all the way down to hoping for a Benevolent landlord or CEO, we give up our power when we wait for others to do the work that is our responsibility as citizens in a democracy. The article I gleaned this from: salon/2014/09/14/fergusons_massive_cover_up_how_police_departments_are_protecting_michael_browns_killer/
