How Many WikiLeaks Bashers are "Firefly" Fans?

I have to wonder how many of them are fans of the show "Firefly" and the follow-on movie "Serenity"? I wonder how many of them regard themselves as Browncoats.

But here is the inconvenient thing: The plot of the movie Serenity is based on this premise-- River Tam knows government secrets, the government will do anything to keep them secrets, and Malcolm Reynolds, the captain of the Serenity, wants to expose those government secrets to everyone in the Universe.

So when someone who regards himself or herself as a Browncoat and even has Firefly stuff in the sidebar of their blog then starts bashing WikiLeaks, well, I have to wonder about that.

  1. When our press corpse can (or will) no longer inform on the actions of the government (among others), Wikileaks is the place to go. Inconvenient truths are inconvenient, but it's funny (as in strange, not ha,ha!) that Julian Assange is wanted and Osama bin forgotten is, well forgotten.

  2. I think I'd put them on my blacklist. Actually, that might be a bit harsh. Maybe I should just have a brownlist.

  3. the truth is inconvenient. The truth is the signal.

    Can't stop the signal.

    I equate Assange with Mr Universe, he provides the collation point and broadcasts it. Who ever took the cables to start with however thats a different issue.

  4. The Firefly fans who support bashing Wikileaks aren't fans of the browncoats, they're Alliance all the way.

    We will rise again.

    I have to wonder why any of them would be ...

    I think Eck has the roles equated correctly, BTW.
