Ah yes....but for years, I have to admit that my husband and I did not vote...because if we registered to vote..we might get picked for jury duty.

I am not proud of that...but, it was when we were young, had two kids..and it took all of our energy to deal with that...

That is not a good excuse, and I nag my kids to vote ...but, I think there are a LOT of people like we were..didn't want to be bothered....or called for jury duty.

You know that they are taking names out of the Phone Book now to call for Jury Duty. Many people still have the attitude that they will get picked for Jury Duty and get in on a Murder Case, or be bored and lose time from work,and have no babysitter. I took my friend and registered her to vote,and she was called three years in a row for Jury Duty including two Murder cases. This was not supposed to happen,and the Family of the last Murderer that she helped convict were in the Courtroom everyday and stared icily at all the Jurors. She was so terrified, that she would be killed by the Family she could not sleep, and after she called the Broward county Court System,they promised to give her years before she would have to serve again, and as far as I know she never did have to serve again. She ended up with really high BP and practically a chain smoker (God rest her Soul),and she never got over the fear.
