I agree that it is both a privilege and a duty.
Nowadays when I think of a jury, I think of senior citizens, people who have no opinions about anything, people not clever enough to get out of jury duty, and a few civic minded non-senior citizens who are doing their duty.
Hardly a jury of your peers.
