The Plutocrat - Kahlil Gibran

In my wanderings I once saw upon an island a man-headed, iron-hoofed monster who ate of the earth and drank of the sea incessantly. And for a long while I watched him.

Then I approached him and said, “Have you never enough; is your hunger never satisfied and your thirst never quenched?”

And he answered saying, “Yes, I am satisfied, nay, I am weary of eating and drinking; but I am afraid that tomorrow there will be no more earth to eat and no more sea to drink.”

revolucion94 answered your question: Christian Anarchism and Jury Duty

Do you best to influence the people around you to the right decision. You could save someone from an even harsher sentence.

While juries only decide guilty or not guilty (or null), and not sentencing, you have a point. I am just as responsible now if I chose not to participate… very good point

Notes:
