I could be very wrong, but I would assume that the number of people that drive drunk every year greatly outweighs the number of people that avoid paying their taxes every year. Because of his fame, the prosecutors wanted to make an example out of Mr. Snipes and I don’t know about you, but I think they have made their point. I personally would much rather be caught driving drunk several times, on a suspended license, and only serve twenty-two days in jail, than avoid paying my taxes and end up in the slammer for three years. Of course, I’m not planning on doing either, but I would rather see celebrities receive ‘the maximum term requested by prosecutors’ for something that has the potential to destroy human life, rather than denying our country more war-monies.

A quick note: I condone neither drunk driving, tax evasion, war nor Paris Hilton.
