Stockholm Syndrome and the State

"Upon greeting our captors in the jury conference room...a spell immediately came over everyone. They talked openly to the bureaucrats, telling them about their favorite sports teams and their families, and joking about trying to get out of jury duty. Do these people have any idea who they?re talking to? These people are threatening to fine us $100, imprison us for three days, or both, if we didn't show up to that meeting."
