Come on India...Really?
2/9/11
Stories like this really piss me off! On February 3rd the Indian High Court threw out a case filed by PIL (Public Interest Litigation) seeking action against bogus astrologers, tantriks, vaastu shastra practitioners, tarot card readers, reiki practitioners, and similar occupations. In a land rich with mysticism where millions of people make important life decisions based on the alignment of the stars, it would not be too surprising to find out that many people consider astrology a science. No, the surprising part is that the courts do too! Precedent was set in 2004, when the High Court concluded that astrology was to be considered a "Science" like biology, physics, or chemistry. In fact, they had the balls to suggest that universities should consider introducing the subject into their curriculum (we know that class wouldn't have a laboratory component!). But in all seriousness, if India wants to be considered a superpower in the scientific community stuff like this cannot be happening, or they are bound to end up like the U.S. with its Creationism-Intelligent Design-Evolution "debates". Save yourself some money and a trip to your friendly neighbourhood astrologer's office and just buy a $1 mad lib book and fill in some words about your future...it would be just as accurate!

This will also bring about feelings of (some nice descriptive, bubbly word), but also (kind of the opposite word, but not enough to make you not feel awesome), providing you with the perfect opportunity for (love/romance/advancement at work/taking a trip you always wanted/etc...). You may also find that (insert vague reference that points to you maybe finding love or winning the lottery or getting a raise).
Continue ad nauseum...literally.
