      Anti-Federalist 1776 You mean traitors? Like the kind we don’t allow burial at Arlington? The Rule of Law is NOT anarcho-tyranny. Y’know what is? When an aristocratic 5% of the population decides Law doesn’t apply to them if it impacts their personal wealth and convinces the Other 95%- very people that their aristocracy keeps poor by making labor worthless- into fighting an dying without telling them they are fighting for the right of the 5% to own everything.

      Anti-Federalist 1776 The Confederacy was still fighting for the state’s right to keep slavery which was ultimately being pushed to be abolished by the Union and they lost. You’re arguing for the sake of dead men and nobody is on your side here except ignorant yokels. Now calm down and walk it off. You seem educated but lack the maturity to quit while you’re behind.

    • @christopherpardell4418
      @christopherpardell4418 Před 3 lety +18

      Anti-Federalist 1776 Lying ain’t an argument. Lincoln would never have signed anything making slavery a “right”- he was a republican- a party FOUNDED on abolishing slavery.
      And actually- it was the confederates who fired upon and seized federal lands. The federal government can not “invade” its own territory. The constitution is really clear on this- The federal government is REQUIRED to defend the union against all threats foreign and domestic. Number two- secession was predicated upon the idea that if you don’t LIKE a law that gets passed, if you don’t LIKE the outcome of an election, that its perfectly okay to simply decide you aren’t held by the rule of law.
      That is philosophically imbecilic position. It makes Lawful government impossible. The rule of law is the rule of law and the South had EXACTlY the same rights as every other state. (The Declaration of Independence specifies that you can revolt if your government is NOT according you equal treatment of all other subjects... the south had no such complaint. )
      Last of all- the South was making a self defeating argument. They were saying that the North had NO RIGHT to limit the rights of the Southern States... So that they could preserve Their right to limit the rights of slaves. Ergo- if the North had not right to preserve the union, then the South had no right to hold people as slaves. If They had the right to hold slaves, then governments DO have the right to limits the rights of the people. Period.
      The South was stupid. And Slavery and Jim Crow actually Impoverished them. The South Still suffers endemic poverty because slave economies are aristocratic exconomies that only benefit 5% of the people who live in them.
      They lost because wage paying economies out-produce slave economies ten to one.
      The fact is that the war was predicated upon weak rationales by the ruling class of the South to try and preserve Their personal income streams, which depended on slave labor.
      And it was fought by dirt poor farm boys who were fighting to be sure that there was at least one group of people who were lower than they were on the social totem pole.
      There was NO grand argument- no noble struggle for Rights they happily denied a third of their population.
      And if you don’t LIKE the Government of the people, by the people and for the people, you can pull up stakes and enjoy the wild freedom of Somalia.

    Interesting, the quote that really sticks with me (and which doesn't appear in this list) is Mal's reply to the Sheriff in The Train Job when the Sheriff says "When a man learns all the details of a situation like ours, well, then he has a choice". Mal's simple reply "I don't believe he does" is probably his most powerful line in the whole series for me. I still look out for it every time I re-watch the show. That scene is just flawlessly written and acted, and it's amazing how much they were able to say about Mal's character in so few words.

    This may not merit addition to a 'best of' list, but I love what he says when he's about to fall asleep after the crew returns at the end of "Out of Gas". As he is about to drift off, he turns back and asks:
    Mal: "You all gonna be here when I wake up?"
    Shepherd - "We'll be here."
    Mal: "Good... that's good."
    That's the closest the character ever comes, to saying how much he cares about his crew. His actions show it, but he doesn't talk about it...

    One of my favorites is after they've delivered the cattle, and River is interacting with them, and Mal comments about her finally paying attention to them. Then River goes off on that flighty, new-age line about the cows, and how when they were on the ship they forgot who they were, but now they remember and so she can see them. And Mal looks over at one of the others, and says something like "Should I be worried that that statement actually made sense to me?" xD Loved that line.

    made me look the fool without trying,
    yet here I am with a gun to your
    head. That's 'cause I got people
    with me, people who trust each other,
    who do for each other and ain't
    always looking for the advantage.

      Well, they CAN pick up a few years after the happening of Serenity. Would explain a bit older crew, and we'd get the end of the main story that was intended. Don't get me wrong, Serenity gave it a nice closure. But if they wanted to make more, they could. And 2018-2019 might be a good time for that. Certainly, the more they wait, the harder it gets. But to be honest, Firefly is a fond memory so nothing they make would make you feel the same as the original run. Even if it is better in quality and writing. Simply, those episodes stand on their own and in our minds they are somewhat sacred.
      So they CAN make more and they CAN make it as good or even better - but the audience will never accept it on the level that the original run was. It has created a cult.
