RE: hero enabler - Nuytsia - Jan-13-2011
This reminds me of the episode of Futurama where Bender tries to be god of his own creation and then meets 'God' and this exchange occurs:
God Entity: Bender, being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you. And if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch, like a safecracker or a pickpocket.
Bender: Or a guy who burns down a bar for the insurance money.
God Entity: Yes, if he makes it look like an electrical thing. If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
