Simon ,'Safe'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
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."Yes. This. Exactly. And this is why I don't pay attention to famous people's political leanings, unless they put them in my face.
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.
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.
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.
I presume it was a case of 'We'll not talk about politics, like, ever'.
It's how I work, so it very well could be. On the other hand, they might have enjoyed their differences.
Well, I think it's (usually) fine to discuss politics, myself, as long as both parties understand it shouldn't devolve into hair pulling. I moderate a site which has a very active political forum, which turns into a nightmare every so often.
