That said, the fact that you would even think to compare Salgado, who, as an aside, I assume is a socialist, but who's prime motivating factor seems to be his desire to wake up those in the developed world to the plight of those less fortunate, with a supporter and propagandist for Aldoph Hitler and the genocidal Nazi regime, says far, far more about you than it does about either Salgado or dear Leni.
