Sit in a small waiting room all day long watching CNN on the tv on the wall, come back and do the same thing the next day and you’ll think twice about answering a call to jury duty.

Oh, I forgot, you are excused every two hours, to go feed the parking meter.

Your post is spot on.

A juror really is a kind of judge.

So a juror should really get the perks that a judge gets: free parking at the courthouse, a spacious and comfortable waiting room, and respect for you and your time.

I know, that would all cost money. But until that happens, I can see why many folks avoid a second jury duty call.

I, for one, have grown tired of watching liberals excuse the heinous acts of criminal offenders for reasons ranging from a 'he had a bad childhood' to 'he didn't mean to do it'. I gladly respond every time I am called and have more than once been the sole voice of sanity on the panel.

Tired of seeing criminals turned loose for a variety of liberal excuses? Serve on a jury.
