I don't make any claims as to what would be best here. Whether suppression or unrestricted use or some middle ground would be better for all of us, I think we can agree that those with their hands on the on/off switch now have demonstrated that they do not hold our best interests at heart.
Back home, however - those who wield the Force have been a force for a source of chaos, of needless destruction brought upon by the delusion that one of their own rank might be worth the suffering of an entire galaxy, of self-centered crusades and quasi-religious nonsense. With history in mind, I find it impossible to come to any conclusion other than: as a class, you care more for abstracts and philosophy and your own mystic bunk, or, less charitably, for your own ascent to power, than you do about anything that happens to the rest of us.
