don't do jury duty. never registered to vote

Perhaps you're forgetting the elderly who are sometimes not as aware.

I wholeheartedly agree. There is a saying," Unless you make the call, do not give out any info." And, now when so many realize that over the years they have been "taken for a ride"; theres a new segment on the news everyday about how someone was scammed, how can you not be more wary? It is thrown in our faces ALL that no company these days CALLS you to ask for info, they either snail mail or you have to call. When will people stop thinking of themselves as victims and start taking proactive measures to guard themselves??

I know in Washington state and California jury duty is selected from driver's licenses not registered voters. I am a voter my hubby is not and he was called for jury duty right after we moved to California and he had gotten his license. I have been in California three years and have been called for jury duty twice.

Nice. You DON'T vote or sit on a jury.
But I'd bet you DO complain about the government.
Bet you complain about taxes.
Bet you complain about how the government is spending your money.
Bet you complain about gas prices, and health care and schools.
Bet you complain about crime, and crooked politics.
Bet you just complain and complain.
Well, in a democracy, you get the government you deserve.
If you fail to vote or take part in jury duty, you forfeit your moral right to complain about hte results--although..
I'll bet ya complain about it anyway.
You get what you deserve.

Some states make jury duty lists from motor vehicle lists. If you own a car, jury duty could call.

I've heard the phrase that "jury duty is only for those not smart enough to get out of it."

It's really a shame, though, because smart people are exactly the ones we need on a jury. I studied court processes extensively in college, and it turns out that highest number of mistaken convictions come from jury trials... and that jury convictions are the most difficult to overturn.

That's why I won't actively try to avoid jury duty. If I make an effort to be meticulous and thorough, perhaps I can be the sort of person I would want on a jury if I were ever wrongly accused.

You are absolutely right !

If your mom is long distance... immediately make plans to visit... my mom was great on the phone and it was only a personal visit that made me realize something was terribly wrong.
2.5 years later we now know she has Alzheimers Disease. She is in denial of it, however. It's a devastating disease, more for the caregivers/family, however, as the victim seems unaware (and can be quite angry).

I loved my jury duty, too! I also hated my job and got to spend an entire week reading and listening to CD's in the little study carrols they had for us when we weren't called to a jury. They only even called me twice. The first time I was rejected by the defense, probably because of my liberal nature, the second was a true joke of justice! How do you get back into jury duty? I love my job, too, but I want to be a part of the process, do a real trial this time!
