Bars vs. Windows

Submitted without comment: Bill Gates accepts an honorary knighthood the same week that Peter Benenson, founder of Amnesty International, dies.

I saw somewhere the following quote, and I'm sorry, but I don't know who to attribute it to--if anyone knows the origin, I'll be happy to cite:

One after another, British Prime Ministers of the last 40 years offered Peter Benenson a knighthood. Each time, he’d write back to them, detailing the human rights abuses Amnesty was currently fighting in the UK, and asking them–if they wanted to honor his work–to make things right.
