Following Goldman Sachs executive director Greg Smith, who posted his resignation letter today in an op-ed in the NYT, Darth Vader has resigned from the Empire, too. In a blistering critique of his former employer, Mr Vader explains, "Leadership used to be about ideas, setting an example and killing your former mentor with a light saber. Today if you make enough money you will be promoted to a position of influence, even if you have a disturbing lack of faith."
This is totally frightening indeed: it means we are now living in a world where plain, old-school evil won't do anymore and taking over the world has fallen to the wayside as the ultimate evil-doer's goal. Nowadays real evil is all about building a death star, ostensibly to terrorize the Galaxy, and then selling its mortgage short over to the alliance so they can blow it up in grand, spectacular fashion and then screw the imperial storm troopers onboard, they're all just clones anyway...
