our peers

Here's a person who also was doing his civic duty yesterday—apparently even more resentfully than I, according to this Craig's List rant. Hope he got sprung too.

"I hate you county of New York.

"Do you think it would be possible if you could waste two more days of
my life? Perchance, could you herd me around from room to room like
cows getting ready for slaughter? When all forty people in a room
raise their arms that they do not want to be involved in a 4-6 week
court case don't be shocked. And, when I don't want to do one 4 week
court case I MEAN IT! DON'T SEND ME TO ANOTHER ROOM FOR ANOTHER 4-6
WEEK COURT CASE! I have a life. I have a job. I AM IMPORTANT! I will
lie to get out of jury duty. I will cheat to get out of jury duty.
I'll be racist, ridiculous, crazy, etc. I will come in drunk. I will
come in with my penis hanging out of my pants. If I am put on a jury,
I will take sides with the person who can get me the fuck out of there
the quickest. Do you think I care about Mr. Jones and Ms. Smith's
property dispute? I AM SELFISH. I care more about what I am doing
Friday night then the car accident on 213th Street, and the ambulance
chasers trying to rake in some green.

"Oh, also do you think you could possibly update the system just a
little bit? Why am I filling out forms and waiting around two whole
days? Ever hear of the fucking internet? USE IT!

"I hate you county of New York. Oh, and please remove the 20 foot "IN
GOD WE TRUST" off the wall of every courtroom. Some of us still
believe in Gilgamesh, King of Uruk, and the great Hammurabi and his
code of law. We find it pretty fucking offensive."
