Step back from the Kool-Aid folks...it's real this time...do you or do you NOT want to protect the arts from attack by the Right Wing? Remember: it's THEIR right today. It's YOUR right tomorrow.

1. Martin Niemöller:

irst 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.
