Astrology is bad for you: A Rant

I was hoping to avoid "The Rant Syndrome" but already trouble is brewing.....

I like Science. Astrology is superstition, and all the dates are inaccurate anyway. Why is it acceptible in this culture to assign characteristics to a person based on some concordence of the sun and the planets while most other stereotypes are (rightly) considered racist, sexist, or otherwise inappropriate? I bring this up because looking at my profile, I am listed as a Saggitarius, born in the year of the Rooster. Now I have nothing against roosters or archery, but I am born under the sign of Ophiuchus the Snake Wrangler, not Saggitarius. I wouldn't make assumptions about who you are based on the random and inaccurate observations of the universe made by a bunch of bearded men 4000 years ago, why is blog spot or blogger dot com or whatever this site is called? Can anybody tell me how to get rid of this information in my profile? I don't mind having my birthdate available, but I if I wanted to be identified as taking on the attributes of those born in the year of the cock I would say so. It's a little pet peeve of mine. I don't assume you believe in God, magic rocks, the virgin Mary in a bowl of Malt o' Meal or alien abduction, please don't make me endorse this soul-sucking nonsense. Many are offended (and I think, rightly so) that the Morman Church goes through a process of 'Mormonizing' (Martinizing?) and baptizing posthumously people who have died and have no say in the matter. How is this different? Is it ok because I am not dead? When I signed up for to blog on blogger dot com, did I aggree to endorse a value system based on chance and not science; on a mysterious force in the universe rather than free will? Hmmm....
