Yes yes, the I have never had one, I haven't gotten that disease, I don't own that type of gun, the government hasn't taken my property or evicted me, blah blah blah add nauseum excuse. What a selfish, short sighted, little person.
Someone once wrote a poem about a similar process of encroachment on rights and freedoms.
Martin Niemöller Poem
They came for the Communists, and I
didn’t object – For I wasn’t
a Communist;
They came for the Socialists, and I
didn’t object – For I wasn’t a Socialist;
They came for the labor leaders, and I
didn’t object – For I wasn’t a labor leader;
They came for the Jews, and I didn’t
object – For I wasn’t a Jew;
Then they came for me –
And there was no one left to object.
Martin Niemoller, German Protestant Pastor,
1892-1984
