Survey Time

Wasn't meant to be. I was called to jury duty many years
ago. When we were called into the court room the judge
asked the panel a question about our opinions. I said I had
an opinion of the subject and he asked what it was. I gave
a full and honest explanation and both the defense and
prosecuting attorneys jumped to their feet like synchronized
jack-in-the-boxes and said "Excused."

The question, Do you have an opinion about drugs? My answer
was yes and I asked if I could explain my entire opinion. I
explained that drugs had been a serious social problem prior
to 1910 when controls were applied. Alcohol prohibition
created a black-market in alcohol and organized crime.
Repeal left organized crime without a product so they moved
into drugs. I suggested that all drugs should be made legal
for adults and anyone who provided drugs to minors should be
executed. BTW, the judge nodded his head.

| That's an interesting slant on the whole "jury duty"
issue. Hardly
| definitive though.
