I do, however, want to leave my thoughts on this post. I look forward to being involved in your site, and hope your back blogging soon!<BR/><BR/>Here are my thoughts on this post:<BR/><BR/>For a long time, I found any reason to get out of jury duty—I can’t be on the jury because I’m allergic to the defendant, I’m leaving the country indefinitely so I can’t serve, etc. Recently, though, I’ve been rethinking my instinct to run from my civic duty. I think being on a jury can be an eye-opening experience because it puts a lot in perspective. Just as serving on a jury is a whole lot simpler than serving in war, seeing someone who may be innocent awaiting judgment reminds me the trivial concerns of my every day life aren’t that earth-shattering—not in comparison to a mother hoping her son’s found not guilty.<BR/><BR/>I generally don’t delve into judicial or political topics, but I recently blogged about President Bush’s 2008 budget proposal and I’d be curious to hear your thoughts—especially considering your history in the armed service.
