Standing beside Abel's bloody corpse, CainMc asked, "Am I my brother's keeper?"

In America, first they came for members of the National Guard,
and I didn't speak up because I had never signed up for National Guard duty,
so I thought that the National Guard had agreed to serve in Iraq and that national security required them to be imprisoned if they refused.

Then they came for the Muslims,
and I didn't speak up because Osama bin Laden said that he was a Muslim.

Then they came for people who said that a human being is always a multicellular organism and never a single-celled organism,
and I didn't speak up because I had been told that God, family values, and Republican/Ceaucescu policy required that advocates of the day-after-pill needed to be shut up.

Then they came for me -
and by that time no one was left to speak up for me.
