SUBMARINERS PERFECT FOR O.J. JURY

The continued whining of the O.J. jury members is beginning to make me sick. Jurisprudence has become nothing but a circus travesty in that courtroom. If the court system truly needs jurors capable of being sequestered and cut off from their personal lives for months on end; who can build a focused team from individuals of diverse ethnic, regional and religious backgrounds; who are able to live and work in cramped spaces; cheerfully share the same living arrangements, food, TV and sense of purpose; can accept long periods without mail, family, friends or sunlight; and are particularly adept at keeping secrets, I suggest they fill their ranks with submariners. We've been doing all that for a long, long time.
