Me suggests that the real power of Jedi's is the balance between working alone and working with others. Me thinks that Jedi teams would be stronger than individual Jedis. To have a team you have to distinguish roles so ye utilize strength and cover weakness. So what would the structure be to a jedi team?

Captain - I couldn't agree with anyone more, about there being a real problem going on right now. I think the real problem though is that so many people don't understand how big a problem it really is. People outside the U.S. seem to have a better undertanding of this than americans do.
I realized what part of the problem is while I was watching CNN last night. I saw that they we're going to have a blip about McCain's arguments with Dubya, so I watched the whole thirty minute go around of topics. I was out of the room for a whole 45 seconds, and when I came back, they were talking about the Peterson case. McCain got less than 45 seconds, and I missed it. Peterson got 15 minutes. People are being kept dumb by our media.
The other thing that's difficult is learning the proper use of language, in order to defuse arguments. Most of us believe strongly about something, and when we aproach someone who believes strongly about the exact opposite, communication becomes a problem. This is why ideas like "expose the truth" are hard to make really happen. Look at F. 911 for example, millions of people went to see it, but only a tiny number of people went "hey, that totally changed my views on Bush", those that support Bush are more likely to go "that Moore is a liberal wanker!". We need to find ways to speak that pull the opportunity to label one as a "conservative", or a "liberal", out of the equation. I'm not sure how this is done, I just know that this would help open a dialogue between some of the more opposing viewpoints in our society.
Jedi:
I believe in part, this starts with becoming still, and making sure we are acting from a place of love, rather than a place of anger. Wisdom is the courage to not respond to your intitial reaction, by use of force. Instead we need to tap into the energy our emotions create, and learn to wield it for the greater good of the all. There is a change comming, but we need to learn how to better hear the answers.
