Well-written, but I disagree. We need to get mad at both the general degeneration and this latest particular outrage. Unfortunately it often takes a prominent transgression like this to focus and motivate a somnolent public. And it's an opportunity we dare not let pass, or we will slip into further desensitization. The enemy has made a mistake, by going too far too fast. Maybe it will cause the frog in the pot to realize that the water is getting dangerously hot.

We need to get mad at ALL of it! And we've needed to get mad long, long before this.
