1. Read in tune to a chant asking for more: Jedi vocation post, Jedi vocation post, Jedi vocation post, Jedi vocation post.
2. You should teach a class in media criticism, methinks.
So the big lesson of Episode III was "the ends don't justify the means"? See, here I thought it was "bros before hos" or maybe "if you sever three limbs from some dude and then watch lava consume his body, just walk away, especially if he's your BFF".
Hi there!
I am conducting some research into blogs that contain strong elements of a work-related nature. More to the point, by work I mean paid employment or paid self-employment.
I found your blog by surfing the Internet and having read your blog very briefly, I feel that it meets this criteria, i.e. you comment on the work you do for a living in some shape or form. A much more in-depth definition of a work-related blog can be found by following the link below:

blog.html
However, if I am mistaken please ignore this email, or if possible please reply to my message to say that this is the case.
To keep things short I've designed a quick questionnaire to help me find out more about the people who blog about their work. Currently there is no research been published on work-related blogging so please excuse the generality or simplistic nature of the questions.
You can access the questionnaire via the link below. There are nine questions in total and all that I require of you is a sentence or two as an answer for each question. Please answer the questions in a style that makes you feel comfortable, as I am well aware of problems some employees have had with blogging about their work. My statement on privacy (at the end of the message) will hopefully further assure you on this matter. A final question asks whether you would be willing to partake in future research - this would be in the form of a friendly and informal interview, and by future I mean many months ahead. What is more, like with the questionnaire, anonymity and confidentiality would be protected at all times.

For further information and ensure that you feel as safe as you could do in responding to an unsolicited request please consider following links at the end of this message for further information on myself, my blog, my institution, my research intentions, my research conditions, and my statement on privacy.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my message and I thank you in advance if you go on to help out with my research.
Yours faithfully
James Richards

i wish i was strong enough to commit to a blog
I didn't realize this was a "blog about work"!
I think that you are being too generous to politicians who have that as a vocation. While power may be more corrupting to idealists with a strong ends to accomplish, vocational politicians are corrupted as well. One particular corruption of these politicians in a democracy is the corruption that comes from pandering for reelection throughh fund aquisition.
While bravery is a requirement for being a politician, a bigger requirement is for a large ego. It takes a lot of self confidence or self righteousness for aperson to think that they can weild power over others. I think this was more of a problem for Anakin. He was so self confident that he could weild the power for good, that he stopped being introspective on what he was actually doing. This goes along with the saying that I have heard that "Anyone arrogant enought to seek the Presidency is automatically unqualified for the job."
