Astrologers SHOULD be as highly-funded and reverently-quoted in the mass
media as economic pundits, if we're going to be FAIR in subsidizing the
PSEUDO-sciences. (I defy anyone from the so-called "science" of "economics"
to come up with predictions half as accurate as those of a skilled and
experienced --not tabloid variety-- astrologer. Then there are the "social"
sciences (at least MY degree was in INTERDISCIPLINARY SocSci, so I could
drive with more than just ONE flat tire) and --what an oxymoron!-- "political
science." Except for the hard sciences, "science" in general is ALREADY
subsidized idiocy, welfare for academic witch doctors -- so, instead, why
not TAX it?
"Ignorance is innocence and is naturally outgrown,
but stupidity is a CHOICE and a COMMITTMENT,
a stubborn defense against the threat of Reason."
