I don't know what you wrote, but I put 'Jedi' again.
It's Census time again and I had very little hesitation. I had a small fear that someone might punish me, but I don't know, really, what for. This is the first thing I've done lately that is true to myself.
I thought about it and it turns out that I believe in the Force and have since 1977. I think this is a religion for nerds, SF buffs and outsiders but I hope it doesn't become an organised religion because I think there is an attraction to sharing something with lots of other people world-wide that doesn't have to be defined or confined. I might be a Buddhist except that people are constantly telling me about their Buddhism and giving up things doesn't seem to be my way.
If they want to create old people's homes that are 'Jedi religion' based then I truly do think that would be the place for me and many people I know. Imagine being stuck with people who don't like SF? - it looms large as one of my numerous fears of nursing homes.
I also believe a bit in mana. I don't think objects that have mana are lucky or anything, but are redolent of their own history and the people who have touched them. To look upon something like that is a form of time travel.

I keep hesitating over my form, reluctant to put my name to it. Have we had to put our name on it before? Or the name and address of your employer? I don't like it. But I do need to get it finished because the collector was quite cranky when he came to get it and I had to tell hime we weren't done. I felt bad for the poor guy.
I'm considering putting Jedi, too, and now that you've done it I think I might. I use The Force whenever I'm blundering around without my glasses on.
