Strictly speaking, every citizen above a certain level of income is guilty of some offence.

Max Frisch

Chorus Leader: He who, in order to know
What danger threatens, reads papers,
Each day at breakfast indignant
Over some distant disaster,
Each day given explanations
That spare him the need to think,
Each day informed of what happened the day before,
He finds it hard to perceive what is happening now
Beneath his own roof—
Chorus: Unpublished!

Max Frisch

If anyone has a conscience it's generally a guilty one.
