Well, he's right of course. I've just become....not numb, but I can't think of a word for it....to people pointing this out. Another person points it out and articulates it, and another bunch of nothing gets done about it. I hope nobody is stupid enough to ever again ask "how did people let that happen?" when we look back at Germany or Russia or Cambodia or wherever. It's actually even less excusable for us, because we have all these historically recent examples to learn from but chose not to.
It's just frustrating. Nothing is going to be done about it until it has proven painful enough, and by that point who knows if it will be too late or not.
