re:From: "David Graniewitz" <graniewitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [etni] Life imitating art Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2007 09:38:03 +0200 Last night while watching the news, I was reminded of an episode of "the Simpsons" in which Homer is called up for jury service. When he finds out that the jury is going to be cloistered in a plush hotel with cable TV, room service and all the works, he decides to make the most of it by keeping the discussion going for as long as possible in what is ostensibly an open-and-shut case. --- I think the quickest solution would be to have them meet in your typical 9th grade classroom, sit on the broken/unpadded chairs etc. The government people will give in within minutes/hours tops, while the teachers will find it a piece of cake. Shabbat Shalom, ps Thanks Esther, great comment to my op-ed.
