What's the big deal about avoiding jury duty anyway?  It would probably
inconvienience my workplace for me to be called, but I don't see why I
should consider it all that big of a deal.  Just carry a stack of books
in, and have a small vacation.

But, then again, I also vote at most non-primaries.  I wish I had time
and energy to figure out who to vote for for the primaries.
