Brava!
I get the distinct impression that Malcolm Reynolds would dispatch any politician that had the bad judgement to set foot aboard Serenity, with the same alacrity he displayed with Dobson at the end of the pilot. Regardless the politician's partisan affiliation.
I often fantasize what might have happened, had the show stayed on the air. Perhaps some of our passengers would have left the ship. Inara certainly indicated as much. Then we'd have gotten new passengers, itinerant travelers who stick around for a show or two before reaching their destination and disembarking.
In such fantasies, I imagine a lawyer securing a berth for a trip to one of the Rim Worlds, where he plans on setting up a personal injury practice.
Alas, we'll never know. Not because the show got cancelled; but, because Mal would shove him out of the airlock as soon as they broke atmo. And none of the other crew would bat an eyelash, not even Book...
Apolitically,
zoid
P.S.
I think I can figure out the political affiliations of all the posters here, based strictly on the 'noble' attributes they ascribe to the characters. Very transparent and self-serving.

Am I the only one who thinks it's odd that currently Republicans are after a constitutional amendment to limit states rights and Democrats are trying to balance the budget?
I honestly think that the political distinctions have crumbled to the point that you can not place any faith in them.
Republicans are trying to lessen the rights of states; Republicans are trying to increase the rights of states. That in itself is enough to make classifying a person based on party sort of useless.
When the same group of people vote for Republicans in the senate, Democrats in the house, and an independent as governor it just gets hard to say which party someone is in.

In a poll four years ago 90% of Americans said they supported freedom of speech completely, 60% of those same Americans said they didn’t think certain people should be allowed to speak (at all.) They tended to base this on political party. That means that at least 50% of those polled both support and oppose free speech at the same time.
In America politics is fluid. When less than 25% of eligible voters vote for a person it is now a universal mandate.
The truth is it’s a headache.

Edited to add "Responding to rat, who claimed not to be a name caller."
No of course not, you simply implied that there was no such thing as a thoughtful democrat which amounts to the same thing. It's your MO. Pop in call people who disagree with you stupid, occasionally say something interesting. More than I can say for conscience but...

If voting mattered, they'd make it illegal.

Oh, I'm sorry! I thought you meant individuals on this thread. You on the other hand, called me "Name Calling Flamebait" to my face(so to speak)!

Okay, sorry, Rat. Jus' pokin' at ya a little, havin' some childish fun at your expence.
To get back at ya for the 'ain't no thoughtful Democrats' thing y'all posted a while back.
'Sokay, though. Young persons such as yourself often lack the perspective and objectivity they will gain in later years.
