"We have four boxes with which to defend our freedom: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box."
Rep. Larry McDonald, 1935—1983
Well, let's see. I have been on my SOAP box for a while now.
I'm not so sure that the BALLOT box is effective. Promises made before elections are seldom kept, I've noticed.
I have tried over 24 times in my 63 years to be on a JURY, to no avail. I am Caucasian, I've never been arrested, I'm reasonably sane, I am a tax-paymer/homeowner -- yet I have always been "struck" from being on a jury.
And, the sad part, I don't own a CARTRIDGE box. Not yet! But I'm thinking about it.
When you finally obtain one, keep your powder dry.
