Cut the cards

I'm glad I read Steven Brust's Livejournal for a variety of reasons (not least because he's one of my favourite authors). In this case, he's just had a short but extremely great post on Firefly:

If I were to boil down the theme of that show (I can't speak for the rest of Whedon's work) to a single declarative sentence, it would be this: You can't trust people, but you ought to anyway.

Beautiful and true. There's good stuff in the comments, too.
