Honestly, I wasn't sure what category to use for this one. Maybe this should have gone in a new "opinion" section but really, this whole blog is full of my opinions...

I saw a bumper sticker on the way to work today that said "Actions Will Be Judged According To Intentions". My first thought was that it made a lot of sense. My second thought was that it made no sense and the owner of the car probably didn't get it.

Here's one of my famous hypothetical situations:

"My intention was to get my buddy to the hospital as quickly as possible so that they could tend his wounds from being hit by a car while crossing the street. Therefore, all the red lights I ran and people I hit with my car are of no consequence."

Here's another, this time ripped from actual headlines:

"My intention was to make a small hole in the wood beam to run a cable through, so it is irrelevant that I shot and killed my wife in the process."

The moral of the story? Think before you stick something on your car.
