It sounds like a great idea to me, Allyson.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Dear conservatives who keep spouting off about how Rosa Parks was a "pawn" or a "plant" and all part of some elaborate plan by the NAACP:
I think you have your Klan hood on a little too tight.

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
Hmmm. Hello Ira, here's my story.
Now I just need to find some studio who will give me a bit of time so I can record it. Who won't charge me a fortune. Bleh.

all part of some elaborate plan by the NAACP:
Well, this part is true, though not NAACP, I think. I actually think a lot is lost in the story when it becomes "tired old grandma won't get up" rather than "courageous woman takes a big damn risk to spark a change in the world."
But otherwise, yeah. STFU.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Does this sound overly insane and presumptuous? My agent says to of course go for it, but I'm not sure if I'm being crazy. Is this crazy?
I can't imagine that it would be in your agent's interest to make you look insane or presumptuous. Plus, that sounds way cool.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
You know, if whitey can buy "tired old woman" better than they can accept "bad-ass activist" that's whitey's problem -- it doesn't take a thing from the courage of Rosa Parks.

Yeah. I know they get 10% of everything, but I'd think your average agent would already have sufficient 'insane' and 'presumptuous' and be going for the benjamins.

No, not at all. But it does take something from people, kids especially, learning and understanding that setting out to change the world is possible - that people can accomplish great things, that it's not just a random occurrence. But for *some reason* the idea of Rosa Parks as activist rather than unwitting catalyst seems to unnerve some people.
