Hovind is an idiot and a fraud.

HOWEVER... I will say that being incarcerated does not a fraudulant person make (nor an idiot for that matter). As far as I understand it, he wasn't paying his taxes. I don't pay taxes either - I refuse to on the grounds that I will no longer help support and fund United States Terrorism (the U.S. is the world's largest and most successful terrorist group after all).

By the way, did you know that according to the Constitution, you don't even have to pay taxes? Don't believe me? Check it out. No joke. No smokescreen. No exaggeration.

Anyway, Hovind's reasons for not paying taxes are clearly greed oriented, as the fortune he had been amassing through income tax evasion was ... well, a fortune. Me on the other hand, well let's just say I'm probably not nickeling and dime-ing the government to death <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

If you want to poke fun at Hovind you needn't discuss his criminal record. Did you know the guy put that he is a PhD bearer in the phonebook directory? Supposedly he is not concerned with credentials. Yeah. Did you know most REAL PhD bearers do NOT put this in the phonebook directory? Then there's his "thesis". That's definitely worth a read. I think you're supposed to take English 101 before you enter a graduate program last I checked.
