Read it. http://suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-rape01.html To summerize: A RAPE VICTIM will be THROWN IN JAIL if she doesn't watch the video made of her being gang raped. What the fuck!?!?! WHAT THE HELL!? What is WRONG with this world that a judge can do that!?! "Because it's necessary to the testimony" that she view it? Let the jury view it, you sadistic heartless assholes! To throw her in jail because she doesn't want to relive it? God. I want to protest this so badly, but whatever happens, it will happen today because that was the deadline that the judge set for her to watch it. Whatever happens, though, I believe that the judge and the defense attorney who argued successfully for the forced viewing of the tape will burn in hell. That poor woman... Any ideas as to what a person could do to protest this shit? I need to go pour bleach on my brain. How Now, Brown Cow?

It's a little quiet here right now, but it picks up sometimes, and it's always nice to see a new face. > I'm a bass player for a band called Etherna and > although I'm heavy metal influenced I've been a > fan of Tori's for many years now. Tori appeals to people with a wide variety of musical tastes (my current fave non-Tori music is a country rock band called Poco). I think it's because she's so musically sophisticated, and because many people find her music has a therapeutic side, as you mention below. > She's been and inspiration and a real help for me > to deal with certain issues. As is true of many others here. Oh, and I sent this to Violet when she sent out her birthday announcement (with an added "bleh!"), but I didn't address it right so it bounced: Bleh? Hey, you made it to 43, that beats the alternatives. Another 8 years and you'll make 51, which is okay so far for me. Thirty years beyond that and you'll get to 81, the age of my all-time favorite movie director (Robert Altman) who is as good as he ever was (he's getting an honorary Oscar this year, which is good and bad, of course, as I discuss here: http://www.u-town.com/waldo/ Eight years beyond that and you'll get to the current age of my mother, who is also doing quite well. Anyway, best wishes and all that, and many happy returns. You young whippersnapper.

Okay, update on the previous email: http://suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-vidrape02.html The judge "abruptly" changed his decision to force the woman to watch the tape after the governer and a bunch of victims rights groups got involved. Miraculous how the judge managed to change his mind after all the bad press, huh? Well, anyway, I'm much less angry now, and much more satisfied to learn that there are organized groups out there to combate this sort of injustice. I probably ought to join one in case a gross miscarriage of justice occurs in Pittsburgh, but I'm not sure what sort of groups there are. In other news, I'm experimenting with Veganism now. Any Vegans/Veggies on RDTRN? For the vegans out there; how the hell can you guys survive without cheese? I'm going insane. Thank god for the second-rate veggie cheese, because otherwise I'd be attacking those giant wheels of cheddar whenever I go to the grocery store. Wow I'm tired. Goodnight all. Sorry for spewing my venom on y'all in the previous post. yawn yawn yawn. Bon soir.

TORI, wtf?!?!?! he's so great! i wanted to know if he was her idea or..... he's so hot in an odd way. i hope he never gets a nose job. god, remember when he won an oscar and grabbed halle berry and just...wow. ok i need to go have some alone time now.... and uh, nap. jessica -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Sat, 04 Mar 2006 15:22:12 -0500 From: wojizzle forizzle <woj@smoe.org> To: torinews <torinews@smoe.org>, fiercest clams <precious-things@smoe.org>, rdtrn <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Subject: bellaonline.com fade to red contest http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art41096.asp To celebrate the recent release of The Video Collection: Fade To Red DVD, Tori Amos and Rhino Entertainment is giving you a chance to win a copy.

I had sort of hoped these would become an investment of some sort, but it seems like people aren't as interested in the Bee Sides and whatnot anymore. Does anyone know if there are other places where such things are selling? I have nearly a complete set of all the singles, US and UK, up through Pele, and all the US singles through To Venus and Back.
