Jim Carroll:

A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic

I posed the question: "Let's boil it down to one question, Jim- Is there at the present time a net qualitative difference between life in South Korea and life in North Korea? And which side if any has the plus column?"

Your answer was incredibly shallow and diversionary. It displayed the alienation between Communism and individual human rights. The result of which is the alienation between Communism and human rights en masse.

Right now we have a single human tragedy, that of Otto Warmbier A single American who committed a harmless act of aggressive tourism, and has been mistreated to the point where he is worse off than if he simply died.
