Dear Sandy,
Probably. If you find yourself wanting another pie on your next Saturn square - in 2009 -we'll definitely have a trend. Assuming, that is, you aren't just talking yourself into following a pattern. Personally, I have been a vegetarian for 49 years and never fancied a meat pie once!

Dear Rebecca,
It's several years since I predicted Hillary Clinton's ascension to the White House in 2008. These days, it sounds more like a statement of the obvious than a dramatic prophecy. I wonder, though, how much good it will do. Experience teaches me that Liberals, Socialists and Conservatives alike can make equally appalling choices.

Dear Jonathan....
While I always enjoy your thought for the day, I feel a bit resentful at what seemed a glib response to Nancy Pelosi becoming Speaker of the house. While its true, as you say, that both liberals and conservatives have made bad decisions, the course of history has been changed in very positive ways when the road has been open for certain groups of people. Having a woman in such a high position will absolutely make a loud, powerful, positive, and history changing impact on generations of young boys and girls, and therefore on our planet.

Dear Jonathan,
As an American and a woman and a Democrat, I must tell you Hillary Clinton does not stand a snowball's chance in hell of ascending to the presidency. She has alienated even those who were once her supporters in her quest. Anyhow, she is doing a great job as a legislator. Let her continue to do so.
Congratulations on your grandchild!

Dear All...
I have had many emails over the past few hours, taking me to task for the comments I made about Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and politicians in general. On reflection, I feel a bit sheepish. I normally think hard about the potential for my words to be misinterpreted but I clearly did not think hard enough yesterday. Of course it's a great thing that there's now a woman holding a position of high office. I though, live in Britain - where we have had a woman prime minister within living memory. Her impact on life in this land though, is one that most folk would far prefer to forget. So I was really just reflecting an awareness that whether a politician is male or female is not really, in itself, a reason to feel sad or glad. Likewise whether they come from the left or the right is surely of secondary importance to the quality of the wisdom they may (or may not) have. I appreciate though that its high time the USA had a female president, hence my remarks about Hillary Clinton. But here, I appear to have upset many people who don't like her. So for the record I had better say that not all my political predictions come true - and the whole point about the future is that it has not happened yet and that we can influence the way it turns out through our choices, atittudes and actions.
