That judge probably didn't realize that I was possibly the most honest person ever in his courtroom.

Or because he needed mindless sheep to populate his jury, rather than someone with critical thinking skills.
No, you probably weren't. Lots of people surely told courts about all of their problems, making them unfit for jury duty, just so that they could go about their own lives.
In the best of worlds (or atleast if the judge could choose jurors all by herself) the members of a jury should consist of an average of the population in the jurisdiction in which the court is held. Sorry, my English isn't the best, but I'm sure you know what I mean. And, given your answers, and depending on the reason of the trial, I'm not much surprised you weren't selected. You're maybe a minority, in the same way an outspoken Al-Qaudia member would be in your community. Maybe sad, but true. In a jury of 250 you both could be members, but not how it funtions now.
But what the fluff do I know, I'm from Sweden, the home of modern social liberalism.
