Even tho I pay my taxes and can certainly go infront of a Jury if I do anything wrong - Pretty senseless really. You think it's senseless that only citizens are allowed to serve on a jury? That makes a lot of sense to me. Out of curiosity, are you working on becoming a citizen or are you ultimately planning on heading back to the rainy homeland?[/b] I'm planning to become a Citizen, probably sooner rather than later as the Government is talking about putting the price up by like 50% to apply (Like that will help the illegal immigration problem). Just have better things to spend the $400 on right now. Having lived here now for more than 5 years I can apply at any time. Could have applied 2 years ago as I'm married to a US Citizen.

Did you check into dual-citizenship allowances? Just curious if that's even an option for you. _________________________ Does anybody remember laughter?

Not sure how that is supposed to work, there's nothing to stop me from renewing my UK passport when it comes time to renew it. Not quite sure what you mean by Dual Citizenship allowances tho.

I'd probably be excused anyway - most defense lawyers wouldn't want a former corrections officer turned Army officer on their jury. My dad's a retired cop and has been summoned. The judge will excuse active cops, but not retired one - like they change when the pension checks start coming in. _________________________ 300,000 miles, and counting
