Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
AB is politically nutty, but no more nutty than a lot of actors I know. I know actors who go to iridologists or who think they were royalty in a past life and their cat was their consort or that every disease has an emotional cause--I was told my mom's breast cancer was caused by sorrow because the breast is near the heart, for example.
This is why I try hard to avoid knowledge of such things. The meta destroys enjoyment for me. I can't even look at a picture of Streisand without thinking, "SHUT. UP."

What is even happening?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Also I would hope that having political views that are considered slightly odd does not keep you from being considered a lovable person. Er,no particular reason for that.

I think there's a difference between liberal, conservative, and bugfuck crazy, i.e. OMG the vaccines are being delivered in black helicopters and the liberal-conservative-masons establishment is putting flouride into our water to monitor our thoughts.

You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. </Gen. Ripper>

No mention of "Drive".
I think it's not really on anyone's radar because the pilot hasn't been shot yet. I'm curious to see if it gets mentioned in FBC's presentation or not.

Duh. hits forehead I keep forgetting that it's not a Fall 2006 show.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I have wondered before how Joss and Adam worked together. I presume it was a case of 'We'll not talk about politics, like, ever'.
Allyson's Drive description almost makes me want to set up a Drive website. But I'll feel nuts, uh, again.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I have friends and family with very different political views than mine and we get along fine. It's entirely possible to not discuss politics with people.
Besides, from what I understand it was usually AB and AT that had the heated political debates on the Firefly set, and the two of them are still friends.
