information about the possible neurotoxicity and other harmful effects of MDMA is available at www.dancesafe.org, a harm-reduction organization. they have an online slideshow that is very informative. they also discuss possible methods for avoiding harmful effects.

there is also extensive information at both ecstacy.org and erowid.org.

note that these websites may not be work-safe depending on how uptight your employer is.

And rember a jury is composed of people who are too stupid to get out of Jury Duty. I think that about sums it up.

It sums up a reasonably poor attitude toward a responsibility you have if you want to participate in U.S. society.

You may be interested to know, despite the flacidity of will your post implies, that jury duty is actually one of those times when you get to circumvent elections, and the frustration of poor judicial appointments, and even your frustrations with the laws, and make decisions about the laws themselves along with your fellow jurors.

I am not a lawyer, and I am not willing to get into a debate over the validity of it, but you might want to read about jury nullification.

Empowered with that bit of knowledge, and flush with desire to do something besides recriminate your fellow citizens as an excuse to do nothing yourself, and aware now that if one socio-political hack exists maybe there are more, maybe you can make a difference.

Not interested in making a difference? Too cynical at the advanced age of 17 to do much because you've been there and done that? Might as well stop bothering at all. If you're that cashed at that age, your future is going to suck.
