Lets look at the following example:

There are hungry and starving people around the world. 
Does the fact that we don't do anything about hunger in
whatsoeverland necessarily imply we have to stop feeding the people
in Somalia or to give out food stamps in the US? 

The existence of parallel problems cannot ever be a reason to 
ignore one of them. Says logic, not me.
