It occurred to me, reading recent news from Florida, that my colleagues and I are in danger of becoming the “other.”

Of course it sparked memory of Niemöller’s familiar post WWII statement:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
By the way, I’m working on improving my understanding of this whole blog process thing. In fact I have a support person ready to help me with it, so I’d appreciate your making a comment to give me more info about how the system is working.
Thanks,
Mona
