And if you were my neighbor, since I logically prefer clear-headedness from people that live within 80 miles of me, it would be allright to hire someone to you up a bit to get you to be more in line w/my way of thinking, is that it?
Your logic sucks; you are being a fool. Try writing novels- that's the only way you will ever control everything in your realm.

Why do you even like Firefly/Serenity, the stories focus on the GOOD guys....
Or do you just come here to fan the flames of ignorance?

*hey, that's not nice*
I'm tired.

I was going to add a caveat to the above post that forcing government X into accountability, let alone replacing it with government Z, is almost always a waste of money, prestige and perhaps lives. I decided to leave it alone, to see what people would read into it without qualification.

You took the bait.

If someone's my neighbour I don't want them screwing with me. I could care less if they're "clear-headed" ("accountable", in this analogy); I may in some abstract way prefer them not to be unstable for their own well-being, but what matters is that they leave me alone. Clear headed people are usually less apt to give each other trouble. Does this mean it's okay to rough said unclear-heads up without provocation? Guess.

I like Firefly because it's good.

I came on strong in my last post to see how you would react- it's unclear whether you believe what you're posting here, or even WHY you're posting, What IS clear is that you don't play well w/others.
No, my friend, you took the bait, and since we' jus fishin' here, I'll save future responses for those who have a point of view, and aren't working for their troll degree.

Chrisisall, who has no time for this crap.
Well, maybe a little time for this crap...
