Time To Read

Again I am worried-- worried about the direction of our country. Are we falling prey to following a man who whips up bigotry and expends words on demeaning other people? What makes people dress up the bigot in the Emperor's New Clothes?

And why are so many people willing to trash equality? I am looking for reasons.

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.
