First they came for the hackers.  But I never did anything
      illegal with my computer, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the pornographers.  But I thought there was
      too much smut on the Internet anyway, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the anonymous remailers.  But a lot of nasty
      stuff gets sent from anon.penet.fi, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the cryptographers.  But I could never 
      figure out how to work PGP anyway, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the gamblers.  But I thought people who 
      gambled were stupid, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for me.  And by that time 
      there was no one left to speak up.
