The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. — Samuel Adams

03 January, 2002: "Check your sources, UPI"

By Kathy Kinsley

I just caught this one on UPI hears(page down):

Is there something to astrology after all? In June 2000, Lynne Palmer, a 69 year-old Las Vegas practitioner of the ancient art, published her Astrological Almanac for 2001. On page 95 was the notation, "avoid terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001."

Yep, that notation was there. It was debunked by "Truth or Fiction" some time ago. She listed 16 dates in September to "avoid terrorist attacks", September 11th was one of them (16/30 is over 50% chance). She also did not list September 11th as one of the days to "avoid travel by air".

Words mean things. A coincidence is a coincidence.
