    Sick of the Mark Benjamins

    I wonder how Mark Benjamin would feel if HIS family was in IMMINENT DANGER, not just of injury, but of death, and the authorities had some of the bad guys in custody? They were kidnapped, and would be EXECUTED very shortly. Do you think that he might have a little different perspective on the situation? Maybe not be such a PUNK? How far would Marky go, to have prevented 911? To save his family? He might be such a weak idiological PUKE, that he'ld rather see EVERYONE DIE, if it meant keeping himself pure. It's a tough call. Isn't it. And it takes tough men to make the tough decisions. Let's hope that no Mark Benjamin ever has to make those decisions on our behalf. EVER.
