In my opinion, Jury duty is to civil defense of our rights/society the best equivalent to military duty. Yes, its that important.
the job stinks, and its annoying, and damned important, if not critical in making this country stay as free as possible.
your voice counts more on a jury than it does among millions of voters.
doesn't matter if you one of many physical conditions that may prevent you from serving your country in uniform, at least in a jury you still serve.
the fact that many people seem to dodge jury duty or it gets overloaded with what may feel like people we don't respect makes it MORE important that people who believe in individual responsibility get into juries to add sanity and maybe justice to the legal system.
that's my .02
