I have voted every opportunity since 1978.

Recently been summoned for jury duty and will comply.

Which of these two do you feel is more important?

    Ironically I was just summoned for December 12th. I think both are important

    I have been registered and voted since 1984- only been called twice, both of those were a mess and never got even a chance to serve, get picked- lost my card, trial postponed.
    XLBGE, LBGE, Charbroil Gas Grill, Weber Q200, Old Weber Kettle, Rectec RT-B380, Yeti 65, Yeti Hopper 20, RTIC 20, RTIC 20 Soft Side - Too many drinkware vessels to mention.

    Not quite in Austin, TX City Limits
    Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    Jury Duty.  Both are important, but your vote on a jury is much more likely to impact someone's life.

    I've been called several times but only served once. Of course it was a capital murder case(life imprisonment, death penalty waved). I have testified dozens of times as an expert witness in civil cases though.

    I think some of you read the question to mean he was thinking about doing one or the other, but not both.

    I don't want everybody to vote! Have you ever been in Waffle House at 4am?

      Almost as terrifying as Hollywood.

    New Orleans is the most corrupt city in all of the U.S.A. and Louisiana is the most corrupt state.  Don't believe me? Just do a simple internet search.  Maybe THAT should make you "skeerd" [sic]

    I think both are important. I have registered to vote for almost 30 years, and I have only been selected for jury duty once. It was for a murder trail.

    Followup - what the hell does that, true or not, have to do with anything other than you're revealing you're a Trump supporter (in more ways than one).

    You sure do mention Trump a lot.  Your problem and not mine.

    In reality, it will probably be your problem way more than mine.  We shall see.

    #1 civic duty is becoming gainfully employed.  #2 is abiding by our laws.  #1 privilege is the privilege to vote.  #3 duty is serving jury duty.

    When many businesses were starting to institute a no smoking policy I was on a road trip and was at a Waffle House. Two guys come in and one tells the other one "hey, I don't think you can smoke in here." My thought was, I am surprised it is not mandatory for all customers to smoke, and have at least one tattoo.
