So I had jury duty yesterday and was one of 6 selected to be on the jury out of 25 people. I’ve always generally believed that, yes, I know there are innocent people in jail and that bad things happen to good people. I understand that… but I also understand that the other 98-99% of people who are in court are there for a good reason. And that people are good at lying and story telling, etc, etc.

So the case we heard was a solicitation of prostitution case. It basically came down to the undercover cop’s word against this Chinese lady’s word. Long story short, we found her not guilty in like 20 seconds after we all sat down in the deliberation room. I could go into details about it… but don’t feel like typing 20 pages! It was definitely a good experience and gave me some insight on the world in general.

In other news, is it crazy or what how the number of people who say, “if so-and-so wins, I’m moving to such-and-such”, just grows exponentially as the election comes to a close and how it’s largely the democrats who make such “threats” or “incredible” statements. I’d like them to lose just to prove what a drama-queen they’re being; cause you know they’re not going to pack up and move like they say they would. Weren’t there some celebrities who made those kinds of statements but never made good on them when they lost?

Anyway, that’s all I’ll say about the election, because for anyone who cares… who couldn’t talk for pages about it?
