The thing I remember about Alex Tribec, was that he was born in Canada, and was later naturalized a US Citizen. A week after he was naturalized, he got summoned for jury duty!! Well, my Mom and I were talking about that, and the next day, I got my summons for jury duty!! If I had told them I was taking a course in Criminal Justice at the local college...or that "Only The Good Lord and the defendant know of the guilt involved. If they're guilty and are acquitted, they'll fare far worse after they die"...they would've dismissed me instantly. Had it been a case with where a car tried to beat a train at a railroad crossing, there is NO WAY I could serve. The law of physics win out, with 1 locomotive being 300 tons, a fully loaded freight train at least 12,000 tons, and most vehicles from 1-2 tons. Then, it takes far more inertia to stop something moving, than to get it moving from being stopped. In short, it's no contest. Daryl ....
