I don't remember any movie either. The travelers are that band of cons that were in the Spokane/Stateline/CDA region several years ago. They would get some elderly people to pay to have the roofs or driveways redone and they cons would take the money and never do the work. They also marry off the kids at an extremely early age in elaborate ceramonies. They teach the art of the con/swindle to the kiddies and create miniature cons at an extremely young age.

A while back there were numerous specials about the Travelers as well as cult definitions, etc.

I remembered that you had this poem on your homepage, but I had forgotten your wonderful admonition at the end. Bravo, Rika!

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 Niemöller

The truth of this poem is self evident. In today's society, you can switch out any combination of who "they" came for and the poem will still be true.
Are you going to speak out, or stay silent?
