It's a pity he didn't add a line here and there like this:

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;and because I felt safer;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;and because I felt safer;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;and because I felt safer;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;and because I felt safer;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.And I was no longer safe.

This is not going to resonate on this thread unless perhaps you added:

Then they came for Atheists/Agnostics/Non-believers...

Or

Then they came for people who built houses susceptible to poor levee construction

Or

Then they came for people sympathetic to cowboys on Brokeback Mountain,

Or

Then they came for people shedding tears at a titanic ending for a hot monkey.

Anyhow, I hope Dale does not get upset at me for trying to abuse people on his thread. I have no one in mind, at least on the last two items <ggggg>.
