ZorkFox

Astrology is a myth invented by ignorant people in the past who simply didn’t know any better and didn’t have the tools to understand their world.

This doesn’t mean they were evil or bad, just wrong.

I am willing to talk with anyone about this subject on any level, but the discussion must be polite and rational. I will accept any challenge to analyze my birth date.

So far, I’ve kept up with this. I have one more to write this week to meet my quota, and I wrote two last week. If you’d like to see, have a look here: ZorkFox’s Ficlets. If you’d like to leave comments, just sign on with your AIM credentials (it’s an AOL-created Web site; who knew they could turn out something so awsome?!) and it’ll let you right in.

I sometimes get into a funk where I think most of the people on the planet are huge assholes with no sense of proportion or ambitions for the future. I sometimes get to the point where I want to leave Earth and make my home in the abandoned villas of the long-vanished Martians (dark they were, and golden-eyed).

Then I’ll see something like the Space Shuttle leave from Cape Canaveral and all my faith in humanity as a species is instantly restored. We can do anything. We can solve any problem through application of science.

The current plan is to retire the Space Shuttle in 2010 (without a replacement vehicle until 2014… which is a dreadful mistake, and a topic for another day).

I will attend a launch before that time comes.
