Dear uname,

	The choice is not between jury duty and travel overseas.  It is
between jury duty and the right to a fair trial.  If you are willing to 
make that trade, then, it seems fair to me.  We should add a line to all
income tax forms, right at the bottom.

	1332e:	Check here if you wish to give up your
		right to a free trial in exchange for
		exclusion from jury duty:			_____


	People like you could sign up for it.  If you get charged with 
a crime, we can lock you up, throw away the key, and not have to read your
silly entries to the net.  Maybe the sentence should include forced labor.
That would make up for the tax revenues which would be lost because of 
your absence from the labor force.

Silly, silly, silly.
