Astrology Skeptics

[I realize of course that you went after the low-hanging fruit of the usual Straw Man arguments against astrology because you love your audience, and they (mostly) love that sort of thing. And hey??_ lots of skeptics are great people. The skeptics I've met have all generally been intelligent, practical people who insist that everything in life has a complete and fully scientifically-approved explanation (or barring that, some decent science-y theorizing behind it). Skeptics pride themselves, and rightly so, on not basing their lives on bafflegab and puffery rather than by How Things Actually Are.
Which reminds me: the Wikipedia entry about you, George, says:
Dvorsky claims to have coined the following neologisms:
Astrosociobiology, the speculative scientific study of extraterrestrial civilizations and their possible social characteristics and developmental tendencies.
Postgenderism, a social philosophy which seeks the voluntary elimination of gender in the human species through the application of advanced biotechnology and assisted reproductive technologies.
Techlepathy, neurotechnologically-assisted telepathy.

??_All of which, I'm sure, are real and observable things that are really totally legit and are really going on right now, and lots of honest Universities will give you a degree in them. —Postgenerism?? sure sounds like it??ll go a long way towards solving that problem women seem to have with critical thinking skills that I totally didn't notice until you pointed it out.]
