Perhaps someone can recall who said a quote I am about to paraphrase: "I would not want to be judged by twelve people too stupid to not get off jury duty."

There are still people in this world who try their best to live by the rules.

I have served on jury duty three times. The stupid ones are the ones that commit crimes and think they are above the law.

This probably constitutes extreme nitpicking but I am irritated when supposedly literate people use this type of sentence construction. The second not in this sentence actually changes the meaning to the exact opposite of what the speaker really means. The functional equivalent is when no negatives are used as in the constantly heard, "I could care less", which is used to mean I could NOT care less. Flame away if you will but the inability to communicate creates all kinds of problems and this type of misusage, which i was cautioned against in grade school, is heard daily on television news programs.
