Yes, just imagine what a wonderful world this would be if nobody ever got outraged on anybody else's behalf. I mean, we'd most likely still have slavery, gay people would still all be in the closet, we'd have public hangings, nobody would be complaining about torturing terror suspects, honor killings would be just fine--so many things just would never have been perceived as a problem to be remedied. Oh, and U.S. soldiers would be able to go crazy and slaughter innocent civilians in Afghanistan without a peep from anybody.
