   WTF??? “I thought you’d want to speak to victims?” What a bunch of effen garbage. Like adults are the only people capable of acting courageously and honourably!

   ha.. her reaction reminds me of me.. I hated condescending adults/people and would react like her. I have pluto on my sun as well.
   Although I admire her aries moon and jupiter held in check by her ability to have tact with her mercury in libra. Nice combo. And nice combo of the libra and scorpio energy together.

   I remember in Grade 10 electronics class, I picked up a strobe light without a case, not realizing it was plugged in. I remember the feeling going through me every tenth of a second, like every nerve in my body had turned into angry, stabbing hot needles.

   I still get that feeling in my auditory canals, sometimes, when I watch Nancy Grace. Or when listen to sheet metal being sawed.

   Ha, that is fantastic. There’s another one where this boy is being interviewed because he won some big spelling bee. The interviewer pushes a product into the interview, telling him he heard that the boy’s mom makes him a Bumblebee Tuna sandwich before every spelling bee. The kid said “no, I hate tuna” - it was so funny. Totally exposed the anchor’s douchebaggery.

   Elizabeth made Nancy look like an even MORE giantic dunderhead than she does on her own! Yippy-Skippy!!!

   Reminds me of myself once when at age 14 a prosecuting attorney tried to get me to trip up in a case against my Dad (who was innocent by the way!) I ended up making him look the arze-y end of the fool.

   Good for you Elizabeth - L.o.v.e. LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you stuck to your guns!! And the little disbelieving eye-roll didn’t hurt either! THAT was some good TV right there.

   I loved this! Elizabeth is my heroin hehe.

   Elizabeth just bristles at the victim mentality being applied to her…

   She makes it really clear it isn’t a situation that makes you a victim but how you deal and also whether you ‘cling’. Victims are encouraged to milk it - but in the end it hurts your selfhood.

   ‘Thought you’d want to reach out to other victims.’ The true victims in cases like this can’t be reached as they’re 6 ft under and never found. Elizabeth Smart is a survivor.

   (And THX for posting this - it was very interesting and some of us rarely watch tv.)

   t-carat - you saw the same thing I did. I wrote about it… coming up next.

    Oh my God - is this a news report or a damned hearty-hearty show? I want to slap that reporter, what a disgrace!

    I love the look Elizabeth gives to the side: duh

    Wow… that was almost kind of painful to watch. But awesome. Good job Elizabeth

    Nancy Grace is not a reporter. She’s tabloid sleaze. She does not belong on cable news. She belongs on the Jerry Springer show.

    In case you didn’t realize, Nancy Grace is also a Scorpio, so by default, she’s got Pluto ruling her Sun, wouldn’t you say? So aren’t you kind of contradicting yourself…?

    I’ve also noticed the Sun-pluto conjunction isn’t that rare amongst Scorpios born in the years ‘84-’87. Almost all of them have it, including me.

    I also don’t have much sympathy for this girl. She had so many chances to run away and she didn’t. If Scorpio’s are supposed to be strong in times of crises, why didn’t she try her hardest to escape? Wasn’t there a little 6-year-old girl who was kidnapped and kept in a basement and DID try and DID escape? And I’m sure she didn’t have the Sun-pluto-conjunction mumbo-jumbo.

    So stop trying to glorify her.

    “I also don’t have much sympathy for this girl. She had so many chances to run away and didn’t.”

    I guess I agree with that on some level… but at the same time, who knows what happened to her there (and what kind of threats were made to get her to stay)… I know she could have just left anyway, but still…

    Also Nancy Grace really did come across as extremely condescending (”little girl,” very forced sounding empathy, etc.), to the point where it was embarrassing to watch.

15. kashmiri says on 10/22/07 at 4:43 pm:
    

    Wow, that’s incredible. I didn’t realize that for some, having empathy for a victim of crime depended on how hard the victim tried to get away.

16. cj says on 10/22/07 at 11:33 pm:
    

    nancy grace being a scorpio doesn’t surprise me, bitchy power tripper, right? plus that hairdo–yikes! eeewwww and that phony sugary sweet voice, double eeeccchhhh. and then this guy “I also don’t have much sympathy for this girl. She had so many chances to run away and she didn’t.” highly typical response of a person who doesn’t have empathy, not just for this situation, but no empathy as a personality trait. I don’t think that empathy can be taught or learned after a certain point. I do glorify Elizabeth Smart, smart by name and nature. Elizabeth didn’t let ms. weird-do push her around.

17. Prana says on 10/23/07 at 4:02 am:
    

    It probably would have been more accurate for me to have said “I guess I understand what you mean on some level” rather than “I guess I agree with that on some level”… if that’s not quite the same thing. Anyway it doesn’t matter how it’s interpreted as I’m not even completely sure which I meant (or mean) myself, so whatever.

    One of the things I love most about Scorpios (even when I strongly disagree and/or it hurts) is that they have a tendency to say things without beating around the bush. Jess is a perfect example… blunt and to the point… you don’t have to wonder where they stand.

18. dreamsareality says on 10/23/07 at 5:57 am:
    

    Here, I’ll try again.

    Nancy tried to GUILT Elizabeth. Did. Not. Work.

    Nancy thought SOMETHING needed to be said to other children (but not really), because if she actually believed that she would use her platform to say it herself. She was attempting to slap Elizabeth’s wrist (guilt, guilt, guilt) for coming on her show and not performing the dog and pony act she had laid out in her mind would get her the best ratings.

    Jess, we just don’t know what kinds of threats were made against her or her family. I myself am not aware of what exactly she did try to do to get away, if any, as I didn’t keep up with the events.

19. liz says on 10/23/07 at 9:28 am:
    

    I’m sure like any true scorpionic she bided her time, playing off the situation until she could get away. When under other people’s control scorpio goes sly - it’s not an aries. As well I don’t think that she was asking for sympathy/empathy - as seen in the video - because i’m sure in her mind at the time she did have some control and was using their weaknesses to plan an escape. I’m surprised Jess wouldn’t be able to relate to that.

    As well just because Nancy is a scorpio doesn’t make her a good scorpio who can admire power in others. In fact for her she looked threatened by it because her power is actually most probably in virgo energy where she needs the other to be the victim in order to be the savior. And maybe that moment for her was part of a pluto square to her pluto from pluto in sagittarius demanding her to not do the victim/savior dynamic in favour of true journalism. It would have gone a lot better then.

    Elizabeth was tied to a tree with a wire cable and raped for 2 months straight.She was obviously too traumatized to try anything against her psychotic kidnappers after that.Those of you who criticize her need to look at her ordeal through the eyes of a kid not the eyes of an adult.

21. Elsa says on 2/10/08 at 5:53 am:
    

    If you ask me, those who would criticize her should be slapped or perhaps tied to a tree themselves!

22. MaryK says on 5/6/08 at 7:06 pm:
    

    “Those of you who criticize her need to look at her ordeal through the eyes of a kid not the eyes of an adult.”

    And for God’s sake, most ADULTS would not be in a sane frame of mind after what Smart went through.

    Judging a rape/kidnap victim for her own victimization is beyond reprehensible.
