I found W's dismissive remarks yesterday about the worldwide peace movement very insulting - he is either a moron or a liar (or both) when he says he thinks the millions of people who march for peaceful solutions don't think Saddam is a threat.

We do know he is a threat and a very very bad man, but most of the rest of the world views W the same way - as more of a threat to world peace than any other tyrant out there right now.

But of course W knows better what's best for the whole world, because he's OUR little unelected tyrant, right?

I know, I said I was done ranting for the week, and now I really am (I think). I have indexing work to do and art projects to finish and get into the mail.

And I still haven't done our taxes. Sigh.

color me curious

>>Sun in Sagittarius

You are a fun-loving person who enjoys games. You are very spirited and energetic and need to spend a lot of time outdoors to release all your energy. Because of your strong need to feel free, you may find it difficult to put up with restrictions that adults want to impose on you.

You want freedom to be friends with anyone, and you won't let others dictate to you about this.

You are very curious and want to know the answer to every question that comes to mind. As you grow older, you will become interested in finding out how the universe works in the broadest terms.

You are cheerful and positive, and other people will enjoy having you around.


Mercury in Sagittarius

Your mind is very curious and you want to know the answers to every question. To learn as much as you can, you ask questions of everyone who might have some new information. You are particularly interested in subjects that study the universe as a whole, such as science, or that cover a broad area of human activity, such as history or social science. You want to understand the patterns of the world around you.

When you believe you are right, you speak very bluntly. You think it is dishonest to speak indirectly in the way that others consider polite. But you must be careful not to hurt people's feelings by your bluntness. Luckily it is clear to others that you don't mean to hurt them, that you are only trying to be honest, which they can understand. Truth is very important to you.

A particular strength of this position of Mercury is that you are able to handle new ideas and concepts that others find hard to accept. A strange or unfamiliar idea intrigues you rather than bothers you. You view every new idea as a chance to grow and expand your mind. Mercury in Sagittarius is often a sign of great curiosity. <<

Mostly true... and certainly true about being curious about how the universe works, and about honesty being important to me.

I do detest being lied to or lied about, and when that happens, if I know about it, watch out, I am not so cheery to the people doing the lying.
