I pray to God we don't have to resort to the final Box. But the powers that be had better be advised that this is one Old Marine who will use the last box when no other recourse is available.

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.
