So it seems that Karla Homolka, scourge of St. Catharines (my birthplace and, when she and "Bernardo*" were torturing and raping girls, my home town) is going to be free, soon. And Michael Jackson somehow managed to get acquitted. Sometimes it's welcome to see that the Canadian justice system isn't alone in its limitations.

*IIRC, the filth assembled his current name from those of some fictional killers in movies and TV.

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
