And that is exactly what is wrong with people today.

“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”

Is it an exaggeration, sure, but the point is true. Nobody gives a damn about an oppressive govt. unless they are oppressing them.
Athletes are more likely to need knee replacement surgery. It ain't cheap so it raises everyone else's premiums. Maybe we should but a tax on sporting goods. People who type all day can get carpal's tunnel, maybe we put a tax on keyboards too. Where does it end?
