The problem is that your whole philosophy seems to rest on the assumption that a person's first responsibility is to serve the state, not to serve himself and his own family first. What's sad to me is that governments generally offer such a pittance for payment that it has to force, at gunpoint, unwilling people to serve on a jury. I say why not have full time, professional jurors? A juror is much more effective if he WANTS to do the job, not when he's forced to. Judges serve voluntarily, and there's no reason why the same should not apply to jurors.
