Fighting Evils & Ghosts from Past and Present No Easy Task

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Angie Harmon is no ordinary television babe. Although Harmon may lack the
qualities which make, let’s say, Jeri Ryan or Heather Graham so desirable
to the masses, she has far better qualities which make her perhaps the
most heroic female tv character on the little screen today.

A native of Texas, Harmon is best known for her role as Abby, a
prosecutor for the District Attorney’s office in New York. In real life,
Harmon is married to New York Giants football star Jason Seahorn, the
only white cornerback in the NFL.

Harmon is tall, thin (even skinny to the point of desperately needing
someravioli) and – ohmygod — a brunette. Many culture watchers consider
her to be one of the most beautiful women in America if not the world.
However, after a perusal of her work on Law & Order, one will find more
than the “Ivory Girl.” They will discover a complex character genuinely
committed to fighting evil.

Harmon’s Abby is not a super-human heroine. She is NOT Murphy Brown. She
is not liberal or conservative, nor does she fall under any other set of
labels. Yes, Harmon is so pretty that sometimes it actually hurts to
look at her. But it is equally as difficult to break away from her zeal
to fight against wickedness and put the baddies behind bars or into the
gas chamber.

She is a no-nonsense sheriff in high heels. Clint Eastwood with lip
gloss. Television has not seen her likeness before, and in this age of
political correctness, might never again.

In one memorable episode, Harmon takes on a smooth-talking, womanizing
traveling salesman. This human scum likes to pick up women, engage in S&M
sexual relations, torture, strangle, mutilate and then finally kill
them.

This amoral sociopath is caught red-handed committing such a crime in New
York. However, in exchange for giving the New York DA information on his
other dead victims, he is offered a lighter sentence. The killer fears
that he will be extradited to Texas and face the death penalty unless he
cooperates. In this episode, New York is unable to apply the death
penalty for his crimes.

However, the killer outsmarts Harmon and her partner at first. He points
them to crimes and bodies that he may or may not have had a hand in. In
fact, by the end of the episode, it looks as if the is going to walk away
completely free.

This does not stop Harmon from pursuing justice. Taking a page of
deception out of the killer’s book, she types up a fake draft on letter
head from the Texas Department of Corrections. She tells the killer that
she has information on killings in Texas that he committed and that he
will be heading back to Texas for extradition, trial and the death
penalty.

Harmon brags, “I will be there as your executioner!”

Of course, there is no such agreement. Harmon has made all of this up.

She tells the killer, “How will it feel to have a WOMAN carry out your
execution?”

The killer becomes enraged. He is furious that a woman might have revenge
on him. Harmon knows that his little fact will propel the killer over the
edge and confess/brag about all of the women he has tortured and killed.

“You shut up and sit there and listen to what I did to those women, how I
made them suffer!” the killer tells Harmon in a memorable scene. Harmon
must sit and endure the man’s tirade, knowing all the while she has
outsmarted him. The look on her face as she listens to the man’s crimes
shows her outstanding acting ability. It is a scene and look that cannot
be described in mere words. It is, however, some of the greatest
television this writer has ever observed.

Though Harmon has lied to the killer with the aforementioned fake letter
of extradition to Texas, she knows that she has kept him from walking
away free. Thus, Harmon, err, Abby, has saved the lives of other women
the sicko would torture and kill in the future.

By acting in this way, Harmon has played the role of both private
detective and prosecutor for the state.

Harmon’s actions in this episode run parallel to those of Agent Fox
Mulder of The X Files fame.

In a memorable X Files episode entitled, “Paper Hearts,” Mulder dreams
that he’s found the location of a murdered child, and when he awakens,
the dream is real. Through his investigation of this crime, Mulder comes
back into contact with John Lee Roche, a convicted child killer.

Roche is twisted and sadistic. He keeps a book of paper hearts, one for
each of his child victims. Roche tells Mulder that he abducted Mulder’s
own little sister (Samantha) and killed her.

Mulder, drawn into this web by Roche, takes Roche back east to his
childhood home in New England. Somehow Roche escapes from Mulder and
abducts another child. In a memorable showdown, Mulder executes Roche
and saves the life of the child.

Mulder wonders how Roche new so much about him and his childhood.
Mulder’s partner Scully says Roche learned about Mulder through the
internet. Mulder disagrees, he claims Roche and he made a connection in
their dreams, a sort of “Nexus” where Mulder’s memories and past thoughts
became known to Roche.

The lesson for Mulder is clear, by chasing the ghost of his sister,
missing for so many years, he endangered the life of another innocent
girl.

However, by executing Roche, Mulder gives up any hope of finding from
Roche, the details of his sister’s disappearance.

(Followers of The X Files are left to wonder if Samantha was abducted by
aliens, or murdered by a criminal? This lack of closure continues even
through another episode dealing with what finally happened to Samantha).

The connection between the characters on Law & Order and The X Files in
the aforementioned instances is clear and unmistakable.

We need to choose the right battles to fight. We must not let the past
jeopardize our future. And sometimes, we will have to go beyond the “fair
rules” of play to confront evil in our lives, in order to protect both
our own sanity and the safety of others.

“We all draw our own lines in the sand,” Mulder tells Scully.

Indeed.
