First they came...adaption.

[Siobhra]

First they came for the fourth amendment,
and I did not speak out, because I didn't deal drugs.
Then they came for the fifth amendment,
and I was silent because I owned no property involved in crimes.
Then they came for the sixth amendment,
and I did not protest because I was innocent.
Then they came for the second amendment,
and I said nothing because I didn't own a gun.
And then they came for the first amendment,
and I could say nothing at all.

Then they came for the fifth amendment,
and I was silent because I owned no property that was coveted by a strip mall developer.

updated that for ya

good post! there are, of course, many versions of it floating around, but the more everyone hears/reads it, the better.

i can think of a few politicians who need to have it tattooed on their foreheads (in reverse so they read it every time they look in the mirror...oh wait, i forgot, those people apparently never look in a mirror.)
