old. After 215 years of trying, we have finally discovered a special interest
that includes 100 percent of the population. Now we can vote ourselves rich." ~

Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic. Then they came for me–and by that time there was nobody left to speak up."~ Martin Niemöller (1945) [served seven years in a concentration camp] "The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.
