It's quite simple... it can cost you a great deal of money to sit on a jury.
The last time I was chosen to sit on a jury panel I was self-employed and my wife was staying home with our two young children. The trial was expected to last twenty days. That is a lot of income to forego. Fortunately, I was challenged by one of the defence attorneys and was excused.
This is why I don't work for that a law firm any more. We did a lot of criminal defence and the one problem was often the mentality of the accused. The Persecutor often had very little evidence that supported thier case, but the sad fact of the judicial system is that the week link is the jury. I could quote more, but this prose is just too painful to read. I think the reason that you used to work at that (or is it a) law firm is because you have no idea how to put together a sentence.
I do wonder if you used the term Persecutor ironically or you simply made another spelling mistake.
For example, a sufficiently motivated nigger could painstakingly review the machine code of the untrusted compiler before using it. I actually read the quoted text. I was quite surprised to discovered that only a certain class of user could painstakingly review the machine code. The original Wikipedia text was never, as far as I can tell, defaced. So, the posting AC is a wanker.
Much the same applies to the VisiCalc example. Microsoft took that poorly implemented idea - and I used the original VisiCalc, it was extremely painful to use day to day - and made it into something that most businesses can't do without now.
I think that you're confusing Microsoft Excel with Lotus 123. Lotus popularized the spreadsheet by providing a clean implementation which was easy to use. The initial releases of Excel were awful.
As far as the "there/their" thing. Every time I see these kind of rouge errors I get so frustrated that almost loose it.
I started to write about the errors in this sentence, but then I realized that there are so many that it must be a joke. It's not a funny joke, but it has to be one.
Are you really equating illiterate irregular soldiers from a two hundred year old war with the professional troops of the contemporary US Army?
No common soldier had any concept of the strategic situation during the Revolutionary War. I would hazard a guess that until Vietnam that was still true. Now, however, it is relatively easy to get information from a variety of sources.
Legislation is typically drafted by lawyers... it's destined to become the law, after all. These lawyers are commonly government employees. The members of the House and Senate don't even *read* the legislation which they vote on, let alone write it.

How quickly do stale donuts lose their value? Haven't stale donuts lost most of their value already?
Your grammar is atrocious. I recommend that you play more video games.

The best part about the parents post was he was commenting on reading books...being literate, etc. Ah, the irony.
It should read parent's.
I love reading grammatically incorrect posts about grammatical errors.

The doctors' and lawyers' unions have done a pretty good job for their industries.

You don't need an extra cost package to produce PDF documents from Word. PDFCreator at SourceForge does the trick and it's free.
You forgot the third axiom ... Never misspell "axiom" when a lurking pedant can correct you.
So this means that Open Office is now relevant to the market?
