      when you only complain about one, and not the other, is exactly the point

      Like when people want to complain about the savagery of killing the Romanovs . . . and ignore how many peasant girls died of starvation for each Fabrege egg . . .

        People can’t deal with harsh reality like that espeshally if the cause and effect aren’t obvious in front of them.
