Today in another discussion about privacy and security (with many “I don’t have anything to hide” folks) I did read something that said it all for me…
I am not a communist.
When they came for the Union people, I didn’t say anything…
I am not an Union member.
When they came for the Jews, I didn’t say anything…
I am not a Jew.
When they came for the Catholics, I didn’t say anything…
I am not a Catholic.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to say something!!!

Privacy and security is something that should concern all of us and should be a reason for all to stand up! And specially nothing about turning away from things pretending you did not see anything!
