Namaste all,
i've always been curious as to why people try to avoid jury duty, especially as it is one of the foundational aspects of many jurisprudence systems.
it seems that people tend to make fun of those that "can't think of how to get out of this duty" rather than thinking that, perhaps, these beings feel the obligation that democracy requires and, given ones particular locus, is even considered a civic duty to be rendered unto the populace.
personally, i would not try to get out of it as i do feel the obligation that comes with living in a democratic republic...i hope you don't suddenly view my mental capacites as deficient!
metta,
