Democracy in Action...

  After Several years of dodging Jury Duty The Great Democratic process caught up with me- For those who have NOT participated here is play by play for those who have you can just Skip this Entry......

 1. Pass by metal detector and proceed to a large room by 8:30 AM

 2. You fill out an additional card they give you and Watch a Short Movie on how important is to perform you're civic duty I'm Sure Diane Sawyer and the late Ed Bradley did it many times 9:00

 3. An orientation on what to fill out, how to fill out what you can or can not do is given for about an hour ( please note you may not Tweet or FB Status anything related to Jury Duty) supposedly they have an App that tracks you - I quickly deleted my "to hell with democracy" Status

4. Around 1045 they began calling out names and assigning them to different Rooms - I didn't get called until 11:33

5. Twelve of us were in the Room where we fill out a questionnaire about ourselves - But only 8 out of the 12 were asked prospective questions to be on a trial of a Spanish woman who fell in a Korean Supermarket - the breakdown  2 African American woman 2 white women  1 old Chinese guy 1 African American 1 Gringo 3 Haseedems, and a Syrian Kid - Me and The Hasedeems were not questioned

6. It Ended 12:37 We broke for Lunch early from 12:49 -2:00

7. The Selection starts again and  at 2:48 20 of us were called for a Different Trial  - It was a lot of the same crowd - This Time I was called to answer questions one of the Ten. The Lawyer Went on and on, and unfrontuatly for him 4 of the 10 Spoke little to No English so it became an Issue The case a Jewish  woman was in a car accident and was Suing another woman for Damages for Injuries both Mentaly and physically - I Quoted Howard Stern with John Sarnau not believeing there is any pyscholigical injuries and was dismissed the lawyer was a fan and complimented me on my hobbies that I put in the Questionaire( Watching paint dry, Staring at walls coming to Jury Duty and ping pong)

8. Back to the Main hall at 4:02, We were dismissed at 4:33 as there were no more cases to be called youre name gets called, You hand it one of your'e papers and get back a certificate and told to come back in 8 years

    A Special Tip to get out of Jury Duty- Become a Non Citizen  Single Parent Convicted Felon who can hardly communicate in English.........
