Do you think that you are not qualified, or do you just not want to serve?
All this talk of jury duty reminds me of an episode of 7th Heaven I saw recently in reruns. Basically, one of the daughters is called for jury duty and she gets upset because she doesn't want to serve because of the inconvenience. Her police officer boyfriend gets upset with her over her attitude because if it wasn't for juries, the people he arrests wouldn't get fair trials and sent to prison.
She finally goes to court and when she realizes the defendant was a guy she dated in high school, the judge excuses her from the jury. At that point, she realizes that it is important to serve after all and asks the court official in charge of the juries if there's a way she could serve and she's told that since she was excused, she's done until called again.
A very different perspective on it I think.
