: : Hi Cindy! : : I like your sense of humor. I'm very new here so I went back and read through your previous postings. I notice that you posed questions, so I'm going to do the same thing, following your format. : : Do you, have you ever, or did you: : : *Run away from home as a teenager? : : *Not own a television for the past 14 years? : : *Never watch a football game, and not know a touchdown from a hockey puck? : : *Admit that the last movie you saw, and the last time you went to a theater, was "Star Wars"? : : If the answer to any or all of these questions is "Yes," then you are as alienated from popular culture as I am. : : I recently got a jury summons. I called and got it postponed for six months. I have never served on a jury and I never will. I'm not a Christian, but this is predominately a Christian country, and I would like to pose the question, how can a Christian serve on a jury? : : The notice I received began with the words "Dear Citizen." This is the same entity which will demand that I take up a gun and kill some young man from Iran or Iraq. I refuse to do that, and I refuse to judge my fellow human being. : : In my view, it's the judge and the lawyers who should go to prison and the accused should go free. : : Namaste, : : Donald : Wow, haven't been back here in awhile...um how ya'll doin? anyhoo, hey Donald- good name..I named my car that (don't ask). Anyways, : just read your post...and wow...I totally know where you're coming from w/ the lame jury ordeal, and the anti-lawyers and stuff, but : it just kinda disturbed me w/ "the accused should go free and the lawyers and judges should go to jail"...that's a little...well, I don't know- : I'm hoping you don't truly mean that- the justice system, I agree, is fucked up- I know people who have been in lawsuits and it seems that : there's isn't such a thing as "justice" anymore- but really, there is no way to really change what has evolved, so the only thing we can : do is try out best to even make SOME justice count. I could go on forever about everything that's wrong w/ our country and the morals : we represent, and the crimes...and the manipulation...but if I do, where would that get me? I'm not really sure where I'm going on this... : but just wanted to say that trying to make things better is better than dwelling on what's wrong.
