it is a little suspicious to me. It doesn't seem that *everyone* is expected to do his/her civic duty. Professional people could more afford the hardship of service than those on hourly wage who will not be compensated by employers. Perhaps, I'm not called because I feel a "deep and abiding" contempt and disdain for what our legal system has become (geez, go figure!). In a much nearer-to-perfect world, I strongly feel the duty. In this world, I see a lot of things that make me feel great disdain. While it is a civic duty, I truly believe FINANCES are a major part, especially if you have to take more than one day off. Small companies don't pay and if you don't have vacation or sick leave, you can forget it!! I personally think they should seek out those unemployed $10 is $10! At my husband's work (small, single company) you will not get payed, even if he works overtime during the week (which he does not get paid for) thanks to our lovely government allowing there to be two versions of salary- exempt and non-exempt!! Our legal system leaves something to be desired. So does our government. I'm trying to be excused now. I am home with my child and do not have anyone to watch him. Family lives out of state and I had a horrible experience with someone watching him and I am absolutely not comfortable with having someone watch him. I don't feel like it is
