Redefining the law.
I wanna be Bob Dylan

Because, apparently, it cannot be said enough.

They came for the Catholics, and I did not speak up because I wasn’t a Catholic.

They came for the communists, and I did not speak up because I was not a communist;

They came for the union leaders, and I did not speak up because I wasn’t union leader;

They came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up for me.”

    I love that quote. I’ve been studying the Holocaust for the past month or so, and have come across several translations of it.

    This is the most inane comment in the world. I’m just trying to prove that I’m not dead yet. :)
