Jury Duty

Jury Duty!!! Crazy I know! I'm not sure what to think? I got my summons in the mail yesterday to report for Jury Duty sometime in May.I'm having mixed feelings about this... I'm not very educated on the law or our Judicial System. I don't think I'm qualified for this. But then again I'm kinda excited because this is an opportunity to see how it all works. And there's always the cliche "its your civic duty". What do you think? Would you go or would you find a way to become exempt?
