#4 - Witness Protection
The other night I watched the first episode of a new USA show called In Plain Sight. Mary McCormack plays a US Marshall responsible for people in Witness Protection.
I have to admit; that's always been a fantasy of mine; to just up and leave, to start over. Of course, it would be impossible to do that, with friends and loved ones left behind, but what if I witnessed a horrific mafia crime?
How heroic would I be if I stepped up to the plate and testified at trial, only to disappear into the night right after, to start a new life somewhere else?
It's pretty tempting.
Am I alone? My question to you is: have you ever fantasized about Witness Protection? Would you like to have the government move you secretly, give you a new name and identity, in a new place where no one knew who you were? Is that something you would do? Even consider? Or am I just weird?
Answer the Question or you'll be PUT TO THE QUESTION!
