Many of us understand perfectly well how corrupt the power elites
have become, and as their share of the wealth increases, the per

Many of us also understand how the corporate media manipulates the
minds of the electorate, and how the resulting demagogues are not
effective in curbing the corruption. Let me try to be clear here.
This is not a question of liberal vs conservative. Both sides of
the aisle, if they were to represent their constituents, would be
after stock and commodity manipulation which has been used to loot
both pension funds and the private investments of what otherwise
would be prudent.

The exposure of philandry and pedophilia among the clergy of the
conventional religions has also increased the interest in "wicca"
and "neopaganism". And all along, there's been an effort by Native
Europeans to recover their ancestral spiritual roots the same as
has been done by Native Americans.

One of the diffs is that whereas religion as we've known it has been
led by men, the new converts follow "witches and preistesses". Women
dont, therefore, dont worry about sexual abuse of their kids. While
the use of Tarot and astrology looks like magical thinking, it also
provides a nomenclature to frame a person's circumstances beyond the
mental deviant terms psychiatry uses.

I am a double Leo with an Aquarian moon in opposition, and have been
successful with a series of Scorpio lovers. I dunno why that is, nor
do I think an accomplished astrologer could explain it to you, But
he would certainly not be surprised. There are, as Jerry says, "new
approaches". Waiting for "The Rapture", however is not one of them.
Gibbon reported the very first Christians, alarmed at the corruption
of Rome, expected Jesus to return in their lifetime.
