Question for Today:
Why is it that people who believe in astrology—really, really believe it—are so annoying?

I'm being no more rational than they are when I integrate Fung Shui into the way I arrange my furniture, so this isn't a left brain vs. right brain thing.
I suppose it irritates me because in some cases it appears to be a substitute for real religion, and a poor one at that.

Stupidity kills thousands of people every day, and often it doesn't stop with the stupid person.
Those of us who are not stupid realize that a stupid person is dangerous not only to himself/herself, but to us as well.
Consequently, when we find that a person is inflicted by that form of stupidity known as belief in astrology, we get our mental guard up to protect ourselves. That guard is first experienced as annoyance.

Fate vs. Free Will.
Free Will is life.
Fate is death, it's followers are zombies (remember the video?).
Zombies are annoying.

I'd expect a Cancer to say that!

Confronted by my rather un-Cancer-like personality, the die-hard astrology people always tell me that they knew all along that "it must have been a water sign."

But, you were giving them a golden shower, right?

I totally disagree that Feng Shui isn't rational. A basic model -- home tucked just down from the top of the hill, facing a plane with water body ahead. It's a survival strategy for our forebears in the old red-in-tooth-and-claw days so they can see their enemies approaching before the enemy sees them. The fact that it feeds the soul is probably related.
