They Came For...

First they came for Barney and I did not speak out because I was not a purple dinosaur.

Then they came for Tinky Winky and I did not speak out because I was not tiny, mute and nominally British.

Then they came for Spongebob Squarepants and I did not speak out because I was not a common household cleaning product.

And then they came for Superman and the Incredible Hulk, who were married in City Hall in San Francisco last year.

That's when I said, "Uh-oh. Better stick with someone your own size."

Addendum: Can't do it. Can't just leave this post hanging without linking to the original, which in its way is simply a more vigorous restatement of the golden rule for perilous and paranoid times.
