I wish I could remember the saying that goes something like this - when they came for our (fill in the blank), I didn't mind cause I didn't have any. If anyone know this, I'd appreciate the entire quote.

Also brings to my mind another great saying that goes the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

And I dispute the good intentions.

I'm positive all 28 of those bullets listed is a red herring.

Absolutely no on can convince me that Robert Fourdraine of the Netherlands was concerned about whether there was a cookie or an apple in my kids lunch bag.

The (fill in the blank) program is a nice nice sell to get the data.

There seem to be several versions of the saying out there used by the Right and the Left. The version I always heard was on libertarian sites: "First they came for the Jews, and I was silent because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the guns, and I was silent..." Ending with, "When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out."

But it appears it started as a saying against the Nazis.

Well... I just did a little too much research on that one. :-0 Back to work...
