"In Germany they came first for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I 
wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because 
I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up 
because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I 
didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by 
that time no one was left to speak up."

Martin Niemöller(1892-1984)
