"If most everyone you meet is not a criminal, the definition of 'criminal' is not yet sufficiently comprehensive."

Edit: added scare quotes because it's difficult to be sarcastic on the internet these days.

I guess I should've included a sarcasm warning. But that's certainly a view a certain type of powerful people seem to hold. Richelieu's famous (probably apocryphal) quote and all that.
