I've always believed I WOULD see this in my lifetime, although I thought it would happen in my old age rather than my middle age. I guess if it's to happen, being middle-aged is better since I can still RUN across the border, at least for the time being.

It is, yet we still had shitty voter turnout just two weeks ago. People are so complacent; they just don't get it. And so, of course, your subject line is perfect, Fred. "First They Came for the Jews" First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. - Pastor Martin Niemvller Lori, very glad that Ashcroft doesn't want to include my guns in his grand scheme ~
