Censorship: Never Think 'It Will Never Happen to Me'

I often start the day absolutely certain that something bad is going to happen.

As an impartial observer, I was absolutely sure that something like that was going to happen.

My friend, on the other hand, was absolutely certain it wouldn't happen to him.

Moral of the story: never think "It will never happen to me" unless you are a boy standing in front of a pregnant woman, wondering about the odds of the same thing happening to you.

We see communist tyrants seizing power in Latin America and think, "This could never happen over here." The truth is that both the small ex-Soviet republics and the Latin American countries overwhelmed by socialism thought the same thing before falling into communist hands.

I know you think that in the land of the free, censorship will never win.

I myself, before this horrible bald patch appeared on my head, used to look at bald people with a deplorable air of superiority, thinking, "This will never happen to me." Now I look upon them as comrades and even consider approaching them to ask, "How about we go halves on a trip to Turkey, the hair implant capital of the world?".
