So I have an e-mail subscription to Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology, and when this showed up today, it was just too good:
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): During America's first war on Iraq in
1991, I prophesied that one day there'd be a Disneyland in Baghdad. It
was a surrealistically sardonic send-up of my native country's imperialism.
But now, 17 years later, my absurd prediction is coming true. The same
American company that designed the original Disneyland has announced
plans to build the Baghdad Zoo and Entertainment Experience. If workers
survive bombing, looting, and sniper fire, the first part of the 50-acre
amusement park will open this year. While I question whether building a
monument to fun is a good idea in an actual war zone, it's an excellent
metaphor for you to apply to your personal life. Even if you can't
extinguish a certain conflict that has been raging, try to introduce a spirit
of play into the proceedings.
If you are aware of what the past five days or so have been like for me, it is dreadfully appropriate.
To Whom It May Concern: Karma will bite you in your fat, pasty ass. But I won't do its work. Fuck war, I'm going dancing.
see you out on the dance floor.
