$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / David Brinkley: The daily astrological \ | charts are precisely where, in my | | | | judgment, they belong, and that is on | | the comic page. George Will: I don't | | think astrology belongs even on the | | comic pages. | | | | The comics are making no truth claim. | | Brinkley: Where would you put it? Will: | | I wouldn't put it in the newspaper. I | | think it's transparent rubbish. | | | | It's a reflection of an idea that we | | expelled from Western thought in the | | | | sixteenth century, that we are in the | | center of a caring universe. We are | | | | not the center of the universe, and it | | doesn't care. The star's alignment | | | | at the time of our birth -- that is | | absolute rubbish. It is not funny to | | | | have it intruded among people who have | | nuclear weapons. Sam Donaldson: This | | isn't something new. Governor Ronald | | Reagan was sworn | | | | in just after midnight in his first | | term in Sacramento because the stars | | | | said it was a propitious time. Will: | | They [horoscopes] are utter crashing | | banalities. They could apply to | | | | anyone and anything. Brinkley: When is | | the exact moment [of birth]? I don't | | think the nurse is | | | | standing there with a stopwatch and a | | notepad. Donaldson: If we're making | | decisions based on the stars -- that's | | a cockamamie | | | | thing. People want to know. -- "This | | Week" with David Brinkley, ABC | | Television, Sunday, May 8, 1988, | | | | excerpts from a discussion on Astrology | \ and Reagan / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
