Then, they came for me...

First they rounded up the reds
But I'm not red so…
Then they rounded up the blacks
But I'm not black so…
Then they rounded up the gypsies
And the junkies and the donkeys.
Now I'm scared to whistle 'swanee'
'Cause they'll ask me for my spit…

Poem by "Madame Guillotine" by the Legendary Pink Dots.


Hackers

First they came for the hackers.
But I never did anything illegal with my computer,
so I didn’t speak up.

Then they came for the pornographers.
But I thought there was too much smut on the Internet anyway,
so I didn’t speak up.

Then they came for the anonymous remailers.
But a lot of nasty stuff gets sent from anon.penet.fi,
so I didn’t speak up.

Then they came for the encryption users.
But I could never figure out how to work PGP anyway,
so I didn’t speak up.

Then they came for 2-celebrity bloggers.
But I am no celebrity and I could never figure out how to be one,
so I didn't speak up.

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