Free Will Astrology

A respected medical journal reports that one out of four people thinks that "scientists have already found a cure for cancer, but that this cure is being withheld by the health care industry because it makes more money treating the illness." There are a lot of paranoid theories like this going around. Millions believe in the existence of elite puppet masters who manipulate our shared resources to serve their own power and wealth rather than the public good. I'm not smart or crazy enough to evaluate these theories. But I do know that for you right now, Gemini, it's crucial to be extremely skeptical of every authority, expert, and leader. You should express similar discernment toward those who present themselves as hip, high-status, or special. It will be to your advantage to disrespect hierarchies and become a devotee of pure democracy.

Uh huh. Rob ol' boy, I've been sceptical of such for as long as I can remember. And as for pure democracies, uh uh, the common man is far too common. Does this make me an equal opportunity sceptic, or just a misanthrope today?

I heard a thought-provoking anecdote recently about a bunch of doctors at a medical conference who went out for dinner together. They're sitting around the table arguing about whether there'll ever be a cure for lung cancer, or any cancer, when one of the doctors who's been sitting there quietly speaks up:
"I have a cure for lung cancer."
Silence falls as everyone turns to look at him.
"....Don't smoke."

I'll have you know that I'm both hip and special.
