Release: Jedi High Council
The Jedi High Council has rejected a recent overture from the Libertarianz party.
"Believe in universal compassion, we do," said Master Yoda, leader of the Council. "Attachment, possession, forbidden they are".
Master Yoda went on to criticise the Libertarianz' fundamental philosophy: "Fear. Selfishness. Greed. Manifestations of the Dark Side, they are," he said. "Greed leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering. That is the way of the Dark Side"
A spokesperson for the Council said that a Jedi Knight would be dispatched to monitor the "Dark Side cult" and restore balance to the force if necessary.
