Juries are encuraged to decide and people think their ”work” should get credited. If I ever end up on a jury again I may vote against the majority just to throw the case out. About 50% of cases are too imconclusive to decide. Unfortunately I will never be on a case where forensic evidence is good. The lawyers for both sides reject scientists. They like to work with eye witnesses being the star witnesses.

blah, blah, blah It's relative. Sure, I don't necessarily want a jury. But I never want that judge from Texas.

I'll never be on a jury, public servants, are not allowed, apparently because they are deemed to have conflict of interest between being state employees and jury duty, and it seems that policy if continued for former ones.

I'll never be on a jury as there's enough information on here (thanks to hermit releasing my real name) for them to know that I'm a radical crazy person.

So, Basil Clutterbuck, why not just accept that ASIO knows who you are? :dunno:

I haven't seen the black helicopters for a while, so think I might be off their radar... :yes:

NPR
”The reliable a-noun-a-verb-and-Nancy-Pelosi strategy will still work. But then comes the hard part. To a large degree, the fate of House Republicans will be decided in the places where the party’s brand is weakest: in suburban districts Hillary Clinton carried in 2016, or where Trump ran well behind past Republican nominees, or where the new tax bill could hurt more than it helps.”

Big change in 10-20 years. How will white old men hold power?

CNN
Because so many of the post-millennials are native-born, rather than immigrants who must wait to obtain citizenship, they will steadily become eligible to vote as they turn 18 in the years ahead. The nonpartisan States of Change project has produced detailed forecasts for the future composition of the eligible voter population. One of its most striking projections is that in 2018, millennials will become the largest generation of eligible voters, displacing the baby boomers, which have held that premier position since 1978.

I'd love to see the Republican party never win another presidency. I really did think we were close to that before Trump.

They are experts at one thing: putting advertising money in high gamble political markets. TV reaches those people that are never polled by phone.

We are in a state where the governor bought his way in. You can’t go door to door to farmers. He buys all the media he can for his favored state senators. With a population of a few million, maximum 5, this is possible.

Yeah, but you are going the other way to them. They start with my real name and then need to find what I've written as a crazy anonymous person. By putting my real name here (actually I'm not sure that you've outed my last name), then all it takes is a simple google search to find some of my crazy writing.
