I wanted to make a point about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, though. The US’s stated intent in committing this horrible act was to prevent the deaths of millions of soldiers and civilians on both sides. It was decided that if the US did not act in this matter, the war in the Pacific theater would have gone on for many more months. Good or bad, it was meant to end the war very quickly and thereby save many lives.

I think the biggest problem the US faces currently is the huge sway that monetary and commercial interests have over US law and foreign policy. For a number of Americans, the bottom line is the dollar, and I and many other Americans are looking for ways to change this “money is everything” mentality. Wish us luck, eh?

Also, if by “professional jurors” you mean “people who can be relied upon to give a ruling that the government wants them to give”, you have obviously not given this more than a knee-jerk’s moment of thought. It’s better than some OJ’s go free rather than an innocent person get railroaded into prison. Because in case didn’t notice, OJ is in prison, they did finally get him dead to rights, but you can never give an innocent person back the years they spent behind bars unfairly.
