Sun reader Arnie Goldberg read yesterday's column, then wrote this letter, quoting his wife extensively:

I read your column relative to the court system and my wife is correct as most wives are. (I was right once this year, but that's another story.) My wife thinks that we should have professional jurors especially those that are retired. They have the time, the experience and the smarts to be jurors. The cost of selecting 12 people is extraordinary and is a waste of the tax payers money.
 
My wife is correct on another issue. Term limits. We both agree that a one-time 6-year presidential term would be in the best interests of the people. The president spends 2 years learning his job and then the next 2 years campaigning for re-election. This reminds me of a question I have always had. While elected members of Congress are campaigning.e.g. Clinton, Obama et al, who is doing their jobs in Washington? They have been elected by their respective districts/states and they are running for another office. I would argue that if they want to run for another office they should resign from the office they are holding.
 
One other subject on which my wife Dorothy is correct. Let professional ball players get paid a minimum of $ 100,000 per year and an incentive program for additional pay, e.g."x" amount for hits home runs etc. This may ensure better baseball and the fans get more bang for their buck.
 
That's all for now. (boy, I'm glad I got that off my chest)
