I study independently. I have just completed my first philosophical composition. Satire is a magnificent form of communication. I am an ordained minister. As a brief over view of my current frame of mind. I am Un-Available, ladies - I have no interest in relationships at this point, and such is a decision made out of caring. Did someone mention a "plan?" Other Degrees and Certifications; "DOCTORATE" - "B.A." - "MASTERS" The counter doesn't function properly... so there!

JURY DUTY FROM HOME!

In recent developments on the wake of the extremely popular reality television shows, the United States Justice System is now considering a dramatic change within its inherent workings.

In an effort to streamline the huge and very boring case loads, and as well in the effort to actually get more people to serve on jury duty, the Justice System is developing a "Jury Duty From Home" program which has gained huge support through the entirety of the United States Government.

The new system will require very little participation from the "jurists" and will incorporate the incredibly popular "call in vote from home" which many of the "reality television" programs have found great success with in response.

No longer will the jurist have to go through useless interviews and waste most of their day(s) off from work in a stuffy court room or waiting room. Now they will be able to serve their jury duty from the comforts of their own homes, while doing so through the very popular activity of watching television.

The "court case" to which they are assigned will simply be broadcast on a specific and closed cable channel, which the jurist will receive clearance and codes to access through the mail when selected. This will be very similar to "pay per view" but the jurist will not have to pay for anything accept what ever snacks and beverages they choose to enjoy their Jury Duty with.

When I asked about concerns with the integrity of the Justice System the first response was that I should just be grateful to receive such super duper secret information before anyone else did... but then, as "Agent Sit-com" warmed up, hse had this to divulge;

"We considered it for a long time...like fifteen minutes and stuff.... and finally we realized that nobody really cares anyway... and since no one cares, it just seems like a waste to go through all that boring stuff just to send someone to jail...." she then paused to blow a bubble and re situate her chewing gum, then continued ; "Then someone started talking about what was on Star Maker that night... and then we started talking about what would happen on Desperate Wealthy Hookers... and then, it just like went off like a light switch or something... and then one of us said how neet it would be if we didn't have to go to jury duty and could just watch it from home with some microwaved popcorn... and like... that's how it started.... and besides, a defendant should have that option open to them as a part of thier right to a speedy trial.... we already have someone working on the theme song... it should be great. I can even see people getting in trouble just to be a part of it. It should be really great for the court system and its popularity, too."

After giving some thought to her explanation, it began to make total sense... which then began to scare the hell out of me because I was actually able to understand her gist and direction. This then acted to alarm me even further when I began to realize how much of a farce the American Justice System is.

Then I exhaled slowly and just realized that some things are beyond anyone's (except people like Secret Agent Sitcom) control. It then made even more sense.

In fact, the more that I consisder it, the more I look forward to serving my Jury Duty in such a fashion.... and "fashion" it most surely will be. Especially once the fashion reality shows are called in to spruse up the attorneys and defendants.

Let's face it, it might even spin off into a franchise to rival that of the Happy Days dynasty!

Not to mention all of the magnificent new faces for celebrity which will surely rise from the ranks of dedicated attorneys everywhere.

Popcorns ready, got to go serve my country!
