Laura Trickle breast-fed her 5-month-old son while on jury duty. For that, the Judge charged her with a crime. Now she has to defend herself from the government’s lawyers, who allege that she, quote, “willfully and contemptuously appeared for jury service with her child and no one to care for the child.” But were Laura’s actions willful? Jury Duty isn’t a choice. For Laura, neither is nursing.
It started with an innocent-looking piece of mail from the government, informing her of Jury Duty. She responded that she wouldn’t be able to participate because she’s still nursing her son. The government lawyers insisted she must come anyway. Her son doesn’t take a bottle, so she nursed him quietly during the trial. That’s when the Judge stopped the trial to draw attention to Laura, as if *she* was inconveniencing *him*. Do these bureaucrats realize the disturbance they’re causing in people’s lives? When she got home, Laura received another not-so-friendly piece of mail from the government lawyers ordering her to come to court Thursday, under threat of arrest, to stand trial for the charges against her. Laura says she plans to plead not guilty. She said, quote, “It is not right. It is not fair for us. We’re just trying to do what is best for our children, and we shouldn’t be penalized and fined for it.” What do *YOU* think? Is this a case for Jury Nullification? Should people obey orders because they’re backed by a threats, or because they come from men in robes? Share your thoughts on the Peace News Now Facebook Page.
Maybe you think that Laura’s wrong -- that she deserves the consequences because she broke the law, and law-breakers deserve to be punished! But consider this:
The Congressional Research Service admits that it doesn’t know the current number of federal crimes. The United States Code is over 27,000 pages, and even if you could count all the crimes contained within, you’d have to look up all the references made to all the other endless bureaucracies’ code books. If the federal government can’t even count how many laws there are, how can you be certain you’re not in violation of one of them right now?
Are you a conservative, a libertarian, a Christian or a gun owner? Are you opposed to abortion, Communism, or the United Nations? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are a “potential terrorist” according to official U.S. government documents. This is *not a joke*.

As politicians in the Czech Republic are gearing up for elections, artist David Cerny drifted a not-so-subtle piece of artwork along the River Vltava. The artwork features a large purple fist extending its middle finger about 7 stories in the air, directly at the seat of the president. Does the Czech Republic have more free speech than the US? What do you think would happen if the same thing were done by an artist in the States?
RT.com reports that China and Singapore are now directly trading Yuan instead of using the US Dollar as the medium of exchange. Put another way, politicians in one part of Asia have agreed to trade a different piece of paper with politicians in another part of Asia. Those holding US dollars will lose purchasing power. Bitcoin users are not affected.
In other news, CryptoSeal announced that it’s closing shop rather than comply with information requests from the US government. CryptoSeal is a VPN, or Virtual Private Network, which uses encryption to give users privacy on the internet. To protect its customers information from the US government, CryptoSeal said, quote, “it is impossible for us to continue.”
Speaking of tech news, Google is working something called uProxy. It’s a peer-to-peer service that allows you to set up an encrypted internet connection with someone you trust. Google hopes the new technology will outwit government officials by allowing users to bypass their restrictive censorship forever.
