Did you think about the point at hand before you wrote that? We're talking about someone who DOESN'T VOTE because she doesn't want to be called for jury duty. If you see the rational logic in such a thing and your heart is bleeding for someone like that, then I'm wasting my time, our country has gone to the dogs. I'm supposed to pay this woman's bills so that she can register to vote because she's too scared she might have an eensy bitsy teeny tiny possibility that she MIGHT have to serve on a jury. Jesus christ.

If you can't afford or have medical reasons to not be on jury duty, then fine - do what you can to get out of it. But if you'd read my post you'd have seen my main point was about voting. Sorry you don't think it's a big deal. Maybe you should brush up on your history. The very least we, as women, can do is to exercise our vote in this country. It's not something I respect, admire, or EXCUSE if you just blow it off using lame excuses. It's a good thing the women before us didn't use lame excuses to not go to battle for us to have such a right.

I can't even believe I'm having this conversation. I'm not going to argue about how jury duty is hurting poor people. Go ahead, don't vote and then blame it on jury duty. Fine. Whatever. But if you or anyone else expects me to somehow excuse or respect that, dream on.
