6. I might be the only one to applaud you

but until we address the flawed jury system (and it's not only in Florida)--the way jurors are selected and other issues--it would be more honest not to participate than to participate. I don't see how we'll get change otherwise. It's certainly to the benefit of lawyers and those involved to keep it the way it is. Until something goes wrong, like what happened in Florida. But, one correction, people in other states can have similar injustices done to them. We just don't hear about them all the time. People who think the jury system works--take another look at it.

So I get where you are coming from and I applaud your willingness to say it.
