"What is America?"

The PorcupineGuy claimed America was a cancer.

"This year we have transiting Saturn in Cancer, the sign of America. Traditionally this has been a two-year period of difficulties for the country. Because of the strategic role that the US economy now plays in the world market place, this can be a tough time globally. About every thirty years Saturn reaches its closest passage to the earth. This happened on the 26th of July. I mention it because although some people doubtless were sensitive to this passage, it did not necessarily make you feel depressed or hopeless. As Mars passes close to our planet on the 27th (Closest that it has been in 55,000 years) his energy will be working overtime, but as he is retrograde and in Pisces (sign of universal connectivity). Mars is close to Uranus (Lord of abrupt change) and opposite Jupiter (planet of expansion). Our conscious intent to be of help to others will have a strong, noticeable, and lasting effect. As a consequence of this stellar activity, the Full Moon on the 27th will be felt directly for several days, and indirectly for years to come. Several few days in August, the Moon is void of course most, or all, of our normal working day. This is not a good time for making important purchases or closing deals. It is a great time to keep on the path you have been on and to meditate."

  Obviously I've had this meme in my head for a while - follow that link and scroll down to see just who it was that added the annotation about America being a Cancer. -[Rob]
