“For Mal, the ultimate good for human beings is freedom. Mal understands that there is a price to pay for freedom. One has to protect oneself and one’s property, without having a government authority to call when someone threatens you. Or, to translate it into a Mal maxim, “if someone tries to kill you, you try to kill ‘em right back.” Mal believes that the more we rely on government, the more it tries to take over our lives.” - Mike Bailey, The Ethics of Malcolm Reynolds

Y’all got on this boat for different reasons, but y’all come to the same place. So now I’m asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They’ll swing back to the belief that they can make people… better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin’. I aim to misbehave.
