Sure believing in astrology is indicative of lack of intelligence, but so is believing in "God", buying scratch and wins, using incorrect apostrophes (logo's) and wearing "lucky" underwear.
Also, reminded by the other thread, crop circles belongs in the group.
They are all things that feast on the poor, unintelligent, uneducated, and disenfranchised portions of society and the world.
Would I want a leader who believed in any of it? No. But this isn't a perfect world, and it isn't often that the right person for the job actually becomes a politician.
