I was sick recently, and since we shut off cable TV, I found myself exploring that vast wasteland that is daytime television. And then it hit me…
Almost every time I talk to someone about jury duty, they’re trying to come up with innovative ideas for getting out of it. But when I turn on the television in the afternoon, I can hardly fund anything that isn’t a courtroom show about Judge Somebody and roommates with a dispute over the rent or something equally sleep-inducing.
How can we be obsessed with fake court and completely unwilling to serve where it actually matters?
