Hillary Clinton

I'm all for having a woman in this office....I'm just not thrilled with this particular woman. Still, she's got the vote in the 85006 as under her administration there would be no reason to fear that the Mexican border would be closed off to Americans fleeing for huge non-bankruptcy threatening discounts in Mexico. Some will vote for her because she's a woman and it's long overdue a woman held this slot. Even though I'm not fond of her I feel a bit of kinship with her as she's a Scorpio too and I share some of her tenacity when I believe I am right and also some of her stridentness. But for me there's so little positive on offer this election season that it's all about voting for continued non problematic access to Mexican health care. This for me is a new low in American politics but it is what it is. I just hope and pray for millions of Americans locked in relentless nightmare struggles that Trump does not win. Rob

I'm a Scorpio here in the 45102 and although I'm not a woman, I am married to one and fathered another, can you relate to me?

Be careful when asking about "relations" of various types in the context of a Clinton.

I'm not surprised you are a Scorpio....not at all. You are very to the point and even though we don't often agree I can respect that. Rob

I saw a video once of a skeptic, I think it was James Randi in it. He went into a college classroom and handed people their horoscopes for that week. He asked people to read them and say what they thought. Virtually everyone was like: "Ooh! I did just meet someone new!" or "I had a job interview, I bet this 'unique opportunity' in the horoscope is referring to that!" and "I do just jump in head first, maybe I should dip my toes in instead, as the horoscope suggests."

Then James Randi was like: "Okay, I switched everyone's horoscopes. Cancers, you actually read the horoscope of Scorpios; Leos, you were reading the horoscopes of Libras" etc.

It was hilarious! You could just see the people squirming when they realized how easily they had been duped.

I believe the basic traits of the signs hold true.....but that the concept can also be taken entirely too far. Rob

Why do you believe this?

The context was Scorpio, not Clinton. I just wondered if astrology, my zip code or gender (maybe I should say 'perceived gender' as that seems to now be fungible) may influence others opinions.

Based on my basic traits here, what sign would you guess is mine?

At a recent management retreat, we spent half a day on Gallup's "Strenthfinder" assessment. The lesson I learned from it was that if you give people a 20-minute online quiz and assign them to categories that tell them vaguely positive things about themselves, they will lap it up. Whether the jiggery-pokery is in the form of conclusions drawn from patterns in the stars or computer-assisted psychobabble, you can't go far wrong making it all about ME.
