One of the reasons I feel there is something to astrology is that I see people being dealt a poor hand regardless of how hard or smart they work. It seems transits and planetary periods do indeed play a role in life and our vaunted "scientists" don't understand it yet. I've also seen charts of immensely successful people who if they were restaurant dishwashers would have wound up rich.

When it comes to life 1+1 does not always equal 2.

That's your perception. Was it Aldus Huxley that said "clean the windows of perception"? Most conservatives believe in an old fashioned work ethic.Work hard, but also work smart. Stop looking outside to blame your lack of success on others but look at what you can do to improve yourself and how you are perceived by others. I was just watching an episode on E:60 about JJ Watt on YouTube. That is what I'm talking about. You get out of life what you put into it. Some people are born into crappy circumstances, but it's their own karma that put them there. Stop whining and do something positive to change your circumstances and stop blaming others for your problems and expecting others to make things better for you. Victim-hood is a mentality that is cultivated and can be hard to shake.Moses lead the Israelites around the wilderness for forty years, until the slave mentality died out and before they entered the promised land.

Remember China's "hardliners" of the 1980s? That's what American conservatives sound like in 2015. :-D

Some people need to work a little harder at different things to make the other hard work they do pay off. Going to a daily job and exhibiting a crappy attitude or showing up late or having excessive no shows, bad appearance, poor communication skills,(need I go on?) can affect the whole outcome. You get out of life what you put into it. Isn't that what self improvement is all about? Starting point *a* ending with *z*. Are you saying that your *well heeled individuals* didn't deserve what they accomplished? WTF is karma?

If something is worth having, it's worth working for. That would include economic equality and opportunity. Should a high school drop out have the same economic opportunities that someone with a PHD has? Should a person with no more ability to flip a burger earn as much as a brain surgeon? It could happen, but they better have something to offer that is in high demand. I can honestly say that I've earned everything I've got. Had I been more ambitious,I could have had more than I have now. I'm not complaining.

You are assuming that hard work equals reward commensurate with effort exerted. Not so. It would be so simple if that were the case. Many, many people literally work their asses off and have no home, very little food to eat and live in rags. The world does not work like how you think it works. There is inequality with regard to race, gender and class that takes its toll on millions of people. I have known a number of well-heeled individuals who like to recline back in their easy chairs, glance around at their paneled, ! ornate living rooms while sipping 25 year old tawny port and smugly assert that if everyone was just willing to work hard they could enjoy the advantages that they enjoy. Bullshit.

Capitalism promotes greed and inequality. Socialism provides equality and equal opportunity. How's that inequality workin' out for ya?

    The problem with capitalism is that sooner or later you run out
    of other people's money too. Then everybody is broke.  What's
    your point?

    What's happening is that the dems are freaked by the traction
    Bernie Sanders is getting. He's also popular with millennials
    who could swing the vote.  I also have a theory Sanders is the
    reason Trump jumped into the race.  So it could be an election
    of democratic socialism vs corporatism. Thing is, the US needs
    some socialism to balance things.  All corporatists care about
    is making lots and lots of money and the public be damned.

    I've listened to Sanders on Thom Hartmann's show for years and
    he is a very reasonable person so it won't be the new Soviet
    Union by a any means. Hillary is too "status quo" with lots of
    skeletons in her closet.

    We asked three psychics to spoil the next 16 months for us
    (for entertainment purposes only, of course).
