OK, let's throw some college kid in the slammer for 33 months (where on
earth did that number come from) for stealing a few hundred dollars worth of
DVDs.  But only if we throw the Enron execs and their confederates in
Andersen in the same slammer for proportionally long sentences -- that would
be about 33 billion months, wouldn't it?

Have we lost all sense of proportion?

[ yes we have  -- in more ways than one djf]
