Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.
With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

DAMN THE MAN!!
lol - sorry dude
a few years back someone flew a private airplane into an IRS building in texas
a customer where i was working at the time said "i hope everyone gets out and then the building BURNS TO THE GROUND"
the way i looked at it at the time i wasnt sure i cared if everyone got out or not - they did choose to to work there after all; i mean its not like it was a hospital or a day care where you will find a sizable percentage of people who are inherently interested in nurturing the well being of others as a precondition to their occupational preference
its the IRS where they (financially) rape you and say its fair (and worse that you should APPRECIATE it)
People are complicated.
