I know my situation doesn't amount to a single salty tear in all the world's oceans of injustice. If we allow our elected and appointed leaders to lie, however well-meaning they claim to be (I am sure Putin has a litany of reasons), we become complicit in the destruction of freedom.
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.
