SAMIAM,

I too am a law abiding, hard working citizen. However, if I made some unfortunate choices on the lake tomorrow that resulted in my taking the life of someone close to you, would you be satisfied if my punishment were community service (no matter how many hours?) I don't mean to be smug about this in any way, but I believe we should all be held accountable for our actions. Community service has its place, but in a case like this it would only amount to a slap on the wrist.
