Who ever told you that my opinions on what I believe is happening right in front of our eyes, vis-a-vis neocons, old convicts, newly convicted (of this or that), unconvicted (Clinton, Bush, Cheney, Blair, et al), con men, etc., Came from the following???<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>What evidence, exactly? A couple of perceived handsigns? I sure hope you're never asked to do jury duty.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Funny that you actually brought up jury duty, so I'll tell it like it is, Not like it used to be. Just about one solar year ago, I was summoned to appear in my old hobotown of Poormouth, VA, for jury duty.<br><br>Because of my now decades-long distrust of my government, I told the judge my truth. He said that anyone wishing to be excused, should line up by the baliff, and that he would interview each of us privately, one by one, in his chambers, asserting, that whatever our personal reasons were, they were no one else's business.<br><br>I had, and still have little or no respect for this particular judge, our chief judge at the time (the position rotates here, on a pre-set basis). My lack of respect for him is personal, but, I won't bother any of you with that now. When he asked my reason for requesting excusal, I tried the truth, and, wonder-of-wonders, in my case, it worked!<br><br>I told him that I had long ago stopped believing in the "justice" system in this land. I said that I still believed in the "legal" system, as they had the police, guns, jails, etc. to enforce their will. I promised him that if I were not excused, I would show up religiously every day that I was called upon to do so. However, I promised him that I could in no way, render a fair and impartial vote on any case.<br><br>So, dear Q, i was released with the judge's note, which is now good for at least two more years. That should make you happy! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>My beliefs and opinions on "what's going on" go back more than three decades of: open eyes, reading many books (remember those ancient information retrieval systems, gentle poster?), the MSM (including their outed lies & spin), actual attendance at university lectures & forums, considered discussion with others, and many, many other venues.<br><br>But, as a gene-pool recipient of 1/4 Scottish blood, and 1/8 Jewish blood, I can say to you in apparent awe, "What a really cool cheap shot!!!". I know you got it at a bargain price at Mal Wart, because, just last week, I purchased two dozen of them at a quantity discount, myself. They were so economical, that I can actually afford to give you one for free.<br><br>I'll admit that it's a newer (6.66) version of the one I gave to D.E., and, alas, I was forced by logic and circumstance, to politely ask that he return his to me so I could bury it beside the hatchet engraved with his initials. But, yours is almost a brand new unseen version. I present it to you now as a reward for all your toil in the blogosphere.<br><br>"Eat depleted uranium-contaminated dirt, live a relatively long time, suffering far more than D.E., and then DIE!!!" Gotta admit, the new versions are the bomb, and they're cheaper by the "double-dozen". <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br> <p></p><i></i>
