Should Jedi work for government?

I have had many ambitions when I started training as a Jedi. At first I was full of fervor from the "Episode I" movie, and then I began to take it more seriously. I have had many a dream of the Jedi being a branch of military or a chivalric order for some countries. Now, I know that the Jedi are for now no more of an obscure secret society, and if you tell people you are a Jedi, then they will probably treat you like a retard.

But what if it did happen? What if the Jedi knights come out of obscurity and actually work for the world nations? I think it would be up to the reader to decide what to think on this subject. I for one would rather shoot myself than work for the United States. I know that that kind of comment would unnerve most people, but I don't particularly like the U.S. You have taxes on everything, children's and student's rights are ignored, education, particularly in the Southern States, is almost nonexistant, and the Bill of Rights and the Constitution are used as political tools, but are not considered to be important. I heard of a survey done in all fifty states.

Some researchers asked some people where the phrase "From every man according to his ability, to every man according to his need" came from. Almost all of those surveyed said it came from the U.S. constitution, when in reality it is a mantra from Karl Marx's "Manifesto of the Communist Party." But, to think about it, the U.S. does have some good points. Free elections are still prevalent, and I like that. It's everything else about America I don't like. But, then again, if the Jedi were to work for the world governments, then some of them might shape up, maybe even good old capitalistic America.

Now, I will understand if you do not accept this. It's just that our country has problems that the Jedi can probably solve.

May the Force be with you.
