[sac-board] Astronomy vs Astrology

RE: the recently added FAQ about astrology, I would offer the opinion that we 
should really consider reworking this question. As it stands I think it can 
be taken a few ways. most of them negative. While I've gotten the question many 
times at public events, I usually respond that Astrology is based on beliefs 
once held as fact and in fact the SCIENCE of astronomy came about as ancient 
astrologers realized that motion of the sun and planets had their basis easily 
proven fact, and not mystical or divine intervention. I also point out that 
when someone says high, I'm a Pisces, that they are in fact an Aquarius. 
I can honestly say, I've gotten hostile only once and that was with a woman 
at work who called me closed minded because I asked her to show me the science 
in astrology. At a public event, never.
