I understand what the writer is saying, but it's too late to save a 40 or 50 year old racist or neo-nazi.  Hatred is all they have left and there is nothing left to save.  We must be very vigilant with these types and ostracize and shame them as examples to others heading down that dark, menacing path.  We can save the kids, but the older haters are well beyond the point of no return.  We can only deal with them like any other extremist criminals.
