Deny, Defend, Depose

Second entry of the evening. Hey, I WILL have 31 entries for the month!

I may or may not have mentioned here (and probably not) that Pluto is now in Aquarius. That is supposed be an era of tearing down structures and institutions that serve only a few to the detriment of humanity as a whole. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius, we had the American Revolution and the French Revolution.

Well, since Pluto entered Aquarius on November 19:

There are mass protests in Georgia.

The people of South Korea resisted martial law.

The French government collapsed.

The assassination of a billionaire health insurance company CEO may very well have touched off a class war in the U.S.

I’m not a hardcore believer in astrology. It’s more of a fun thing to learn, and the geometry comes in handy while shooting pool. But maybe we should brace ourselves, because Pluto will be in Aquarius until March 8, 2043. Hey, I’m 58 with one heart attack behind me already. This may be the rest of my life! Bring it on, I say. Just tear it all down. It’s the only way things will ever change.

Some images from around the internet:

A banner hanging off a bridge. The banner says "Deny. Defend. Depose."

This next one is a railcar.

The words "Deny, Defend, Depose" spray-painted on a railcar.

And my favorite:

Chalk writing on a sidewalk that says "We're not from the left or the right. We're from the bottom and we're coming for those on top."

I expect to see more stuff like this. I also figure that there is more where the CEO shooting came from. Americans have pretty much had it with our health care system. It doesn’t matter what political persuasion one holds dear: Anyone who has had private health insurance has had a problem with private health insurance.

In other news… I went on a city-walk yesterday. Here’s a Christmas tree. This is Holidailies, after all.
