Greetings..
I comment because I have been called to Jury duty, and every time they have specifically weeded out, anyone working in health care, anyone with a law degree, anyone who is a professor with a PhD in any discipline that is capable of swaying the body of jurors.. then you end up with folks being awarded millions for a cup of coffee that is hot that has spilled on them, or for tripping because they wore high heels, or because their panties had pearls that flew over and knocked their eyes out.. sadly the folks who award idiots such sums of money, don't understand that it usually comes out of the tax payers pocket especially if a suit against the city with a substantial sum (just as an example of course):

I think folks fear what they don't know, not because it is a threat to them, but because it is unfamiliar.. sometimes the unfamiliar is better and more sensical, though you are certainly entitled to your opinion..
all the best
