Message-ID: <582@pyuxqq.UUCP> Date: Wed, 29-Feb-84 00:00:00 EST Article-I.D.: pyuxqq.582 Posted: Wed Feb 29 00:00:00 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 7-Feb-84 07:08:18 EST Lines: 15 Reagans state of the Union speech chided other countries that build walls to keep their people in. Yet I believe the residents of those countries have some freedoms we don't have. For example, I would bet that their citizens who have done NOTHING against the laws of their country don't have to be worried about being forced from their homes and possibly locked up for days, or even weeks. Thats NOT true here in the USA. Here its called JURY DUTY. I would be glad to give up my right to travel overseas in exchange for freedom from jury duty. If we can have an all-volunteer army, there is no reason why we couldn't have an all-volunteer jury system. All they have to do is make the pay reasonable.
