I was a juror on a domestic murder trial. Went home each night, no free food and they confiscated everyone’s phone during the trial. I wondered how would I’ve gotten properly compensated if I’d been self employed? I believe we should have a system of full time professional jurors who are trained in law and how to disregard lawyerly tactics. As it is, there are cases where it will be hard to find a jury who hasn’t heard of the case and has not made up their minds. Trained, professional jurors will be trained in setting aside their biases; sort of like if you take a debating class, you’re taught to switch sides and argue the opposing point of view.

There’s an easy way to avoid jury duty. Don’t be on the list of potential jurors. That census card they send to you each year asking for the names of all residents in the house or apartment; don’t send it back. It says right on it that failure to send it back may result in removal from voting list. It’s also used to create a juror pool. Not being able to vote is a small price to pay for not getting called for jury duty.

I like Golden, I plan to vote for him. The true test will be if he goes after those in his own party with the same zeal as he goes after Republicans.

I don't know what you mean by this. Yes or No; should the biological father have a say as to whether or not the fetus is carried to term?

I believe if the biological father wants the child to be born, he MUST be made financially responsible. If however, the biological mother wants the child to be born and the father does not, and the mother gives birth, the father should not be financially responsible.

This is not "bullshit". It's called FAIRNESS.

If I were a contractor or builder I’d be working on a lakefront home or a Mountain View mansion. There’s so few contractors and builders that they all can get enough of the high end work to keep themselves busy.

Too bad, because NH needs more entry level housing and as the boomers die or retire, the younger generations aren’t going into the trades.
