It's not stupid when the Lone Ranger does it.

I served as an alternate in back to back trials this past March. My work did pay w/o having to take leave. It was $10/day. I did not donate it - that leaves the county the impression they don't need to pay any better and they do."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
