Yes men usually will say that they agree of their own violation. :-)

Do you really think about what you write?  You prove my point below:

You mean the same crime rates that show that African Americans
commit violent crime 10 times more against whites than vice-versa?

Yeah, it's neat that "neonates" are protected from
their primary caregivers killing them via legal
abandonment.

I saw the 15 minutes or so of this episode totally by accident
and then got bored to tears and changed the channel
and never watched it again.

For someone who claims to have traveled to Australia for
months at a time and party with Internationals daily,
you sure do spend a lot of time watching trash TV. :-)

Janine Turner was kind of the "Lindsay Lohan" of the 90's.
She got tons of coverage.  She kind of typified the 90's
woman for me: A bit hostile and ambivalent towards men
(at least in the roles she played) and had her hair cut
in this short dykey haircut.  She made a car commercial
just as the Y2K was coming around where she was rejecting
men who didn't drive a decent enough car (that commercial
didn't last for long) and then she disappeared for 4 years.
She just did some unremarkable video.

Who knows?  I don't think actors necessarily match their
screen personas (by definition.)  Anyways, good luck to her.
