1 week until I get to sit in a courthouse praying I don't get selected to be on a jury. Turned a copy of my summons into the school secretary today, so she can enter it into the computer/payroll system, so I can be excused from work that day and still get paid without using sick time. T tells me it's fun to be on a jury because someone else's fate is in your (and 5 other people's) hands. Juries in my county are only comprised of 6 people for some reason. I think she has a "sick" definition of fun. I don't agree with the justice system, so maybe that is why I don't want to serve.
In college I was a a pretty strong Libertarian in my political views. After graduating college I realized that I didn't agree with a lot of it anymore and changed to NPA (no party affiation) on my voter registration. However I still hold some of the Libertarian views, maybe that will make the prosecution not want me. Defense would probably love that I don't agree with the justice system as they would think I would go "easy" on their client. The state however (I assume) would not like that very much.
