I suppose I could have lept up and said I do TM and I'm a yogic flyer! *** If you don't want to appear for jury duty, just take a red crayon to the notice they mail you and write Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord! or some other Bible-y or quasi-bibley slogan and send it back to em -- they'll leave you alone.

This episode gets weirder. Returned at 1:30 and sat in the assembly room for 45 minutes whereupon a judge enters and explains that there were four cases on the docket. Three were criminal and resolved without trials and the remaining is a civil case but has to review some motions and there may not even be a trial for that either so we have to call back tomorrow evening. For me a civil case would be more interesting.

For me a civil case would be more interesting. * The justice system treats people shabbily. When OJ was on trial, jurors were basically jailed for months (sequestered, supposedly to protect OJ's right to a fair trial), which horseshit I would never put up with -- of course, somehow the judge and prosecutors didn't see any need to lock themselves up for the trial. Probably a reasonable solution (especially given the outcome with the drooler jury seated for OJ and the inevitable result) is to have well- paid professional jurors, educated people who display a rationality not found in the lumpen proletariet (would you like to have 12 Sarah Palins on your jury?).
