I used to know a bunch of women who were deep into that New Age crap. (I don't associate with them anymore) Complete ditzes when it came to politics and world events, but always voted and/or supported democRATs and organizations like PETA. No surprise of course! ;-)
There was one in the town next to us. The police stopped her from jumping off a bridge. She was institutionalized. Maybe she got herself possessed messing with that left wing stuff. *shiver*
Oh dear. The women I knew would always be "thinking postive thoughts", and looking at crystals and stuff like that. They always seemed generally blissfully happy, knowing that if this life doesn't work out - no problem - "my next life will be oh so much better."
Oh yeah, and in their "past lives", they were never lowly serfs, always princess-types who had led rich and interesting lives... *barf*
I think you see why I don't associate with them anymore... ;-)
