    >Galileo could say: 'I noticed that Jupiter was a ball with moons and not a god in the sky. Tell me, what happened to the astrologers?' Well, they print their results in the newspapers, in the United States at least, in every daily paper every day. Why do we still have astrologers?

    This is basically the "nooo, stop having fun" meme. Sure, some people who are into astrology believe that it's literally true, but I'd wager that most don't. I suspect that this was the case even 500 years ao.
