Completely off-topic, but _SHAME_ on you!!!  Many citizens "opt out" of 
voting for the same reason, but that excuse is more lame than any one that 
Bill Clinton ever _THOUGHT_ about coming up with.  Go spend some time in a 
country where you're not _ALLOWED_ to vote -- if they don't shoot you where 
you stand, you _MIGHT_ gain some appreciation for the freedoms you have here.

BTW, jury duty is your obligation for the freedoms you enjoy -- "getting out 
of it" varies from state to state.  Frankly, you should _BOTH_ be glad that 
you get jury duty for free, instead of having to pay for it with your _LIFE_ 
as did your forebears...
