Divination

If you ask me, divination is a very woolly discipline. Ancient runes: now there is a fascinating subject. Even so, Gay Orbit still asks an excellent astrology question. Use your inner eye to see the future!

Tens of millions of Americans believe in it. So, why are we not teaching it in schools?

I should confess I always add an astrology component to my introductory lectures on Marx. The latter is a subject most students know nothing and care even less about but know is to be taken seriously while the former is something with which they are all familiar but know does not count as proper knowledge. I have always found this to be a peculiar distinction.
