personal. Everyone has forgotten this oldie but goodie:

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 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 me - and by that time no one was left to speak up.
-Pastor Martin Niemoller

This is how they work you see. Go, first, after the group no one knows about. Then go after the ones people already have something against. Then go after the group no one cares one way or another about. Then go after the groups they can come up with a rational lie about that everyone might buy. Then go after the groups that half the people will buy the lie and that divides the remainder. The remainder is so busy fighting and being afraid of what the other half is going to do that it is easy to trap them in their own fear because by now, they 've noticed all of the others are gone.

I'm sure you can identify the group who have already fallen into one of the above categories. They are creeping slowly down the list under the banner of religion, concern for the children, and the destruction of the country's very fabric ... our values.

It's been tried before!!
