People,
My frigging post was just erased. Farts. I'll re-do it for tomorrow with vengeance in my heart. Stupid technology.
No - I have noticed them too.
Recent development.
Serves Joe right for not standing up for the Jews..just like the poem goes:
"In Germany, the Nazis 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 Jewish.
Then they came for the trade unionist,
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 the homosexuals,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a homosexual,
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one left to speak for me."
--Rev. Martin Niemoeller, German Lutheran Pastor
