Jedi Awakening to Empire Tyranny

Ewan McGregor said he is sick of Britain's "ludicrous nanny state" rules, which he said might force him to quit the country, in an interview to be published Tuesday.

Health and safety regulations were becoming "insane", the 36-year-old film star told the weekly Radio Times magazine.

As long as we're on the subject of Merry Olde England, I thought Obi-Wan's observations had relevance.

One can only hope he may some day also learn and espouse the value of a blaster or a light saber...

If you come to America, Obi-Wan, just don't move to D.C., NYC.,Chicago, or San Francisco. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villiany.

McGregor has had a taste of REAL freedom, on thishis second world-bike trip. You can watch the first in "Long Way Round" (look it up on Netflix). He and his buddy Charlie ride their bikes from the UK, east to New York (taking boats/planes when needed). This latest trip was "Long Way Down", this time riding down south through Africa.

(Hopefully on netflix eventually)

I guess Ewan saw how the rest of the operates, and it does just fine on its own.
