Folks might want to remember the poem/speech by Martin Niemoller:
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
Sorry...I'm just so...I don't even have a word for it.

I was so sad, mad, angry, shocked, just so much I couldn't sleep last night. To me the citizens in our country are now like walking robots. They do as they're told and that way everyone is happy. I admit I didn't know much of the entire story, the previous stays of execution but after watching Democracy Now I do. Are people too lazy to listen? To work harder to find out? Where was President Obama in all of this? I just don't get it at all.
