GREAT MOMENTS FROM THE TRIMET BOARD

There is a small debate on twitter going on about protocol at board meetings. All the power brokers that run these meetings insist that you follow their agenda's. And above all you must 'behave' at these meetings. Even when the policy makers are killing you one is expected to 'behave'. Behaving did not stop the Vietnam War. Behaving didn't end segregation. Behaving did not drive the British out of India. Behaving does not influence history. It supports the status quo. It's how you lose to powerful people, 'keeping in your place.'
Cameron Johnson in this clip refuses to be ignored. Anybody who has been watching these board meetings knows that public testimony is routinely ignored. Cameron refuses to submit to the status quo. This is how change happens


Martin Luther King, Jr.
“An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law”
― Martin Luther King, Jr.
