[Re: "Gay Rights" -- let them go to hell, it's not (yet) my problem]
Well said, Michel Fingerhut! To which I would add the following rather famous
quotation, which has been appearing around these parts of late on little
stickers:
"In Germany they first came 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."
