I don't mean this personally toward you, but this discussion reminds me of something I heard once:
"When you go to court, your fate is in the hands of 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty."
I am personal friends with most of the judges here. They all try really hard to discourage people from "getting out" of it. They see this day in and day out and I think they have a VERY convincing argument that everyone should participate in the process. They also understand why people want to get out of it. At the same time I also realize that they are exempt. Personally I think people should serve when they can. Everyone has some time when they can serve as the judge unceremoniously explained to me. If I, as a property owner, ever faced a jury, I'd sure rather some other property owners be on that jury instead of just a bunch of tenants. :-
