let's catch an arsonist

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2003.07.09

I got a note from the building management today stating 'On a recent visit to the building, the Toronto Fire Inspector has advised us that anyone caught tossing cigarettes off their balcony causing a fire ... will be charged with arson.' I suppose the operative word is 'caught'.

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.

—Terry Pratchett (as Lord Vetinari)
