Are you For Real? Or just For Opt?

So she said she was a realist. She said this moments after tellingus that the planets weren't aligned well and that we shouldn't sign any deals this month. I laughed, mocked, made fun of. And then she said laugh all you want, only until recently has the this school of thought been accepted as gospel. So is ignoring the validity of these beliefs actual progress?

The world Isn't flat, women Can vote, and science speaks louder than zodiac signs right? And yet how many of us read our "astrological" portraits and find ourselves saying "wow, that's me!".

So the argument now becomes, as we move forward with technology and progressive thoughts, are we leaving behind beliefs that we may just have use for still?

Discuss.
