Compassion in Pajamas

In the midst of an otherwise predictable tirade about Matthew Dowd, Roger L. Simon says

Still, I found Dowd's apostasy peculiar. Why this and why now? It seems extremely self-serving given the world situation. It's all about Matthew and not at all about the problems faced by civilization. He is headed off (according to the end of the article) on an individual crusade to help folks in Africa. Laudable, I suppose.


In other words, Africa -- and the horrors contained therein -- is not considered a "problem faced by civilization."

If Mr. Simon is what constitutes civilized, then please count me out.
