Just as the dark side of the force was manifested in Emperor Palpatine in the form of electric lightning bolts, the electricity flowing through commen power lines can be equally evil.
I remeber running phone lines throught the wall to make a new phone jack behind my computor (hence my abilty to use the internet). I did have the forsight to shut off the 12-volt power lines to the electric socket there, via the breakerbox. I failed to consider, however, the 220 lines to the washer and dryer also passing throught that section of wall. Ouch.
However, as electricity is the very lifeblood of the computor which allow Jedi Knight editing, lo, even Jedi Knight itself, electricity cannot be all bad. Therefore, it is my fime belif that electricity is neutral in the force, is status as light or dark depending entirly upon the jedi who wields it. :)
You're not alone
