The U.S. Supreme Court announced Monday their refusal to hear the
appeal of Sun Myung Moon's tax evasion case.  In so doing, the
way is clear for Moon to pay a $25,000 fine and begin serving an
18-month prison sentence on June 18 of this year.  The High Court's
refusal to hear the case came down despite intensive lobbying by
religious groups who fear erosion of the tax-exempt status of churches.

Now, Moon is getting what he deserves, but is it for the right reasons?
Would the IRS have gone after the Methodists or Presbyterians in this
manner?

Who thinks that Moon will actually spend time in jail?  With the wealth
he controls, can he weasel his way out of it?  I say he'll never see the
inside of a cell.  What do the rest of you think?
