    First they came for the Communists and I didn't speak up; because I wasn't a Communist.
    Then they came for the Social Democrats and I didn't speak up; because I wasn't a Social Democrat.
    Then they came for the Trade Unionists and I didn't speak up; because I wasn't a Trade Unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up; because I wasn't a Jew,
    Then they came for me, but there was no one left to speak up for me. (attributed to Pastor Martin Neimoller)

    As a culture we seem to have completely missed the point that we are all in this together; that it is not OK if some of us suffer, live in want, or die horribly as long as things are going OK for "our team" or, better yet, for us personally.

    It doesn't even seem to matter if people are suffering in our own backyards, as long as it doesn't effect property values. It is, after all, their own fault they were born in Iraq, or on the Rez, or any of a thousand other "reasons" we use to explain away the humanity of those who make us uncomfortable.

    A recent article in the local Chamber of Commerce magazine praised the work of an alliance of for-profit corporations who had pumped one million dollars into the non-profit sector here since 2001, while simultaneously tightening the funding criteria non-profits had to meet.

    That's one million over five years. That's in a city where oil and gas companies have spent that much on corporate celebrations - alone - in a single year. Where Post-It and paperclip budgets run to 6 figures. No one seems to see the irony.

    Do you?

    You Are the Investigator



    5




    You're independent - and a logical analytical thinker.

    You love learning and ideas... and know things no one else does.

    Bored by small talk, you refuse to participate in boring conversations.

    You are open minded. A visionary. You understand the world and may change it.



    What number are you?

    This is an important piece of news. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are NOT terrorists organizations or sympathizers. They call it as they see it...
