I like this quote about astrology
I know that astrology isn't a science... Of course it isn't. It's just an arbitrary set of rules like chess or tennis.... The rules just kind of got there. They don't make any kind of sense except in terms of themselves. But when you start to exercise those rules, all sorts of processes start to happen and you start to find out all sorts of stuff about people. In astrology the rules happen to be about stars and planets, but they could be about ducks and drakes for all the difference it would make. It's just a way of thinking about a problem which lets the shape of that problem begin to emerge. The more rules, the tinier the rules, the more arbitrary they are, the better. It's like throwing a handful of fine graphite dust on a piece of paper to see where the hidden indentations are. It lets you see the words that were written on the piece of paper above it that's now been taken away and hidden. The graphite's not important. It's just the means of revealing their indentations. So you see, astrology's nothing to do with astronomy. It's just to do with people thinking about people. ~Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless

I don't see Hillary as fear based. That's the Repukeblickinz.
But I agree with you, Obama is a potential Democratic-liberal-progressive version of Reagan. His son Ron Jr says so.
My 83 year old momboloco told me she is for Obama and will vote for him in the NC primary. She saus my Texas brother can't imagine anybody but McCain. Jesus, he lives with a black lady! I gotta get into his haid.

I told her she's my Obamamama.

I don't know, being born in late May that is late spring gives me a sense of perennial hope, mayby that is why I am such a blooming idiot.

Nice thread Hestre. We are harmless at worst, possibly something better. Points of light maybe?

Gotta crash, up at 5 AM. peace out.
