The office mate is out today so I can actually log on!

So, I had jury duty on Tuesday in downtown Los Angeles.

Yeah, not pretty.

Thankfully I'm an opinionated asshole who is only too willing to voice my contempt for our legal system thus I was the first to be dismissed from the jury pool!

Yep, that Public Defender ran me out of that courtroom like a common pygmy. How's that for a badge of honor?

It's often been said that judges and lawyers look for the dullest among us to serve as jurors, but after witnessing the process first hand I don't think that's exactly the case. It seemed to me that they only wanted people who are without any kind of personal philosophy or moral compass; people who can be told how to think. The prime example was when the judge asked if we - as jurors - would be able to find a person guilty under a law that we personally thought to be unjust. I couldn't believe that only I and one other person said no.

Oh, well. At least now I know that I'm a non-participant in society.
