- Have you studied astrology? I think not. From my own personal experience
- I have found the "science" of astrology to be a valid one. Biology never
- appealed to me and I seriously doubt that the subject I found terminally
- boaring in school would now suddenly richly reward me. Now, I'm not
- doubting it's validity, it just holds no appeal. And since astrology holds
- no appeal to you, you might be better served reading alt. bio. or some
- other "rewarding" board. And you might ask yourself why you don't believe
- in astrology. Is it because of exhaustive research on your part which
- proved it's non existance or is it just your uneducated opinion? Or
- perhaps you listen to others opinions? "Others don't believe in it, why
- not me?"
