That's a hilarious ad. Campaign. .....I believe the big guy has mentioned that he is in fact a VW bus owner.
I used to have a bus, Loved it. Poor Hildegard, Eventualy had to be traded in for a little warmer
vehicle, once we got the kids. She Made it across the
Continental divide with Me, my wife, and everything I owned at the time. < It's what we moved to Oregon in, after we got Married.>
Hmm Magistrates, Efficient? yes. but sounds like it just Priming the pump for Injustice and coruption. Now I'm not saying thats the case always, just seems to me like a lot of
power in very few hands.
Yes Jury Duty here, Everyones Constitutional Responsibility! I think it's a great
system. I always looked forward to getting to serve on a Jury. I've only ever been called once. My wife, however, has been called at least 5 times since we moved here, once she was selected for a Federal jury,murder for hire trial. Once for some mundane thing, twice for County jury duty, and now she's sitting on a County Grand Jury. Here's the rub, Regular jury duty requires you
call in every morning, if your number is on the list you go in to the Courthouse, < city, state, federal. county. whatever> you sit and wait to see if they need you then you may go through a jury selection process. Get on a jury and you're on it 'till the trial is done. 1 day, 1 week, 1 year......... Depending on what type of duty it is you get compensated $x.00/day. usually something like 20-40. Well a Grand jury sits for an entire month, You never know from day to day what the schedule is, they tell you the day before when to show up and an approximate time of departure. So Her working for this month is, right out. Not so bad but the kids are out of school, So they tag along with dad to work. Not so bad. Kids have swim lessons, Aikido, sleepovers,Parties......... Yeah I'm spending most of my time taxi-ing and very little working. Sorry am I venting? Oh a little, Guess this should go in the "punching bag" But I thought you might like a little American Civics lesson, God knows we don't teach civics in school anymore, kids gotta learn it somewhere, if not here than they'll learn it on the street, and that leads to ......... Street civics..
