Stepping back on the SoapBox a minute...

So...I just read THIS post on FB:

"IF YOU FEEL THE JURY WAS WRONG, WHICH WAS MADE UP OF TWO HS DROP OUTS, 1 ARRESTED FOR DUI, ONE THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE KIDS AND ONE MAN THAT HIS WIFE WANTED HIM THERE. DON"T BUY HER BOOK............"

I have a deep issue with this post:

1. To me this means that high school dropouts (excuse me this included my MBA-holding husband, my Son, my Mother (RIP), my Brother who served the Marines)..are not smart enough to consider evidence and make an intelligent decision.  Fuck you and the horse you rode up on!

2. DUI - Do you mean to tell me that this charge would make someone ineligible to make a clear, thoughtful, intelligent decision on someones fate? How many of us have been one prayer and a traffic stop away from a DUI? Raise your hands!!!! Come on.....

3. "One that doesn't have kids" - What fucking difference does that make? Sorry all of you people who don't have children...you don't make the cut!

4. "Man that his wife wanted him there" - The last time I checked a woman has no influence whatsoever on whether her husband is selected and even chosen for jury duty.

People...fucking move along!!!

(taking my soap box and walking away, again)

The Dark Days

I still have them...just without drinking through them. Sometime I wish I could, but it's not an option if I want to live. Peace
