Today is the first day of the rest of your Free Will Horoscope:

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Empty your mind of everything it thinks it knows about where you belong, Virgo. Once you've created a wide open space, launch an inquiry into the nature of your true home. Here are some questions to guide you. (1) What's the first place you think of when you hear the word sanctuary? (2) What environments bring out the best in you? (3) Do you have what you might call power spots, and if so, what do they feel like? (4) What places on the planet captivate your imagination, even if you've never even seen them? (5) Is it possible there may be a future home that's a more meaningful version of home than the place where tradition comforts you?

Home is where the heart is right? Not where my power spots could be.

ABC had a semi-hit on their hands with The Bachelorette, but was foiled by Fox's smash, Joe Millionaire. Seems that the alphabet network will try and increase their chances of rating success by combining the two, with the twist that the new "Bachelor" just happens to really be a millionaire. If he's more than just a smile and a fat wallet, I think I'll be able to believe the girls on that show actually like him. Maybe he'll impress them with his sculptures (if he had that talent). Or maybe he'll be an owner of a sports team. If so, I hope it's not one of these teams. All in all, at least he has real skin.

So the majority of us went to college. A few of us were actually the first of our family to attend a facility of higher learning. Amazing as that may be, it's also amazing to note the distinct advantage certain children have because their parents went to a certain school. This study suggests that racism may somehow be involved. Perhaps that's why we have affirmative action. In any case, it's the merit of the student that should be important, above all else. Elitism and xenophobia are part of the reason why so many countries hate us. How depressing. Maybe I'll take in a show.
