It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished

It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished.

(of a house for sale) Apparently the selling agent dropped an Open House notice in my letterbox yesterday morning. Of course I was at work and didn’t get home until quite late. Somehow that constitutes 24 hours notice for the open house that’s going on around me just after I walked in the door tonight. Had a word to the agent that more notice would have been greatly appreciated, (especially since they only had an open house two days ago!) but it’s done now, the people are already inside, making a scene really won’t accomplish much.

Oh Microsoft…

The more things change the more things stay the same. 20 years in and I still have to restart my computer for an update to some blogging software?
