re: #614 The Sanity Inspector

We often have trouble giving credence to issues that we don’t see with our own eyes, or have to endure upon our own personal selves. Years ago in my college there was an Argentinian girl. She wrote an op-ed in the college newspaper, decrying the tarring of Argentina’s image with the news media’s stories of the then-ongoing Dirty War. She wrote about what kind, life-loving people Argentinians are, how she never, ever saw any evidence of people being tortured or disappeared. Either she had been shielded from it, or she had chosen to look away, or both. In any reckoning though, she was wrong. Slow-motion calamities can and do happen right under our noses.

I agree—but I would also repeat that, given the high number of people writing about this who are pursuing a filthy agenda of their own, and palling around with Nazis—who should I be listening to?
