At least two people on my LJ Friends List have posted recently about Mercury being in retrograde.  I’d like to say, on behalf of all rational people in the world, “whoopdedoo.”

Seriously?  We now know that the world is not flat and that the stars are actually giant balls of insanely hot gas rather than spirits who intervene in our daily lives. Ooga booga.

rational people? Wow, if that's not some sort of gross arrogant statement I don't know what is.

And spirits? Um, no. That has nothing to do with why SOME of us like astrology or feel a connection to the cosmos. But hey, if it makes you feel better to poke fun at others, all the more power to ya.

Hey, if you want to believe in the flying spaghetti monster or invisible forces connecting you to stars, go nuts.
