Thanks for the link. Interesting questions you set, I will deal with No. 1.
While staying with my sister last weekend, we were discussing something and she handed me the magazine from the previous week’s newspaper. I read the article and then browsed the other pages. When I came to the last page it was all horoscopes for that week. I threw it across to my sister and laughingly said, have a read of Pisces and see if it predicted my fall. She began to read and doubled up with laughter. It began with: It is all your fault…. We laughed so much that we went no further and I refused to read what was supposed to be in store for me in the current week!

Yes, it is always our fault that things go wrong. Horoscopes cannot be wrong on that.
I find a horoscope can apply to anyone; it’s up to me to have a good life; blogging is a great way to make new friends; the Syrian outcome won’t be good; there will never be peace in the Middle East; no; no; no, people have had enough of war; no…
Ya got me with the word all, Rummy.

My horoscope tells me that in the next few days, you will start blogging again.
1. Do you believe in / follow horoscopes? I don’t believe them. But do follow them because they tend to be pep talk by a cheer leader, giving you hope in the face of adversity. I have yet to find a horror scope which will honestly, and accurately, tell me where it’s at tomorrow: Hell’s bells.
2. If you do, will you credit all your good and ill fortunes to the stars? No. I credit and debit only myself.
3. What is your honest opinion about blogging? Honest? …I love how people connect.
4. What do you think will be the outcome of the Syrian standoff? I thought Shackman told us not to discuss politics in polite company.
5. Do you think that there will be peace in the Middle East in your life time? How much longer have I got?
6. Will China ever overtake the USA as the world’s greatest power? No.
7. Will we ever see 100% gender equality? We already do. If only people weren’t so blind to the obvious staring them in the face.
8. Will we ever have WWIII? No idea. Once boredom sets in who knows what we’ll do to entertain the masses and ourselves.
9. Will print media completely disappear? Never.
10. Will we ever see all our children playing outdoors again? Again?
Inspired questions, Ramana.

I am glad that you answered all of them. I think that the last question deserves an explanation. I find children spending more time on indoor electronic games than playing in grounds.
Yes, and no, Ramana. No doubt that electronic games are here to stay. Yet, I dare say if a child is given the choice between that and the outdoors they’d choose outdoors any time. Unfortunately, because so many parents are so overprotective (and lazy) they rather park their children in front of a screen than let them roam.

Will China ever overtake the USA as the world’s greatest power?
No! USA, for me, is still the world greatest power… and in no means China can beat USA. Yeah, they said China is known as the sleeping giant but USA is the mighty Samson! 🙂 hehehe. Just my thoughts!
