Yes, this was a good article (I also recommend anything by James Randi on this topic)- however, it is futile to try to convince the gullible folks (like EggsAckley) that this just a simple scam- they REALLY, REALLY WANT to believe, and so they do.

Like the woman in California who fell for that stupid Nigerian money-transfer scheme and embezzled several hundred thousand dollars to send to some Nigerian con man- I'm sure that all the explanation in the world would not have swayed her from her delusion of instant riches.

People believe stupid things. Just a fact.

True you can't save the gullible, but you can save the "semi-gullible" who aren't sure yet. And anyway I'm friends with a lot of magicians and clowns like Edward give "honest mentalists" a bad name. If he was just doing the normal stage magic stuff I wouldn't havea problem with him, but instead he plays on the heartstrings and charges a ton for private readings, and that's sick.

Or, to put it in a way I'm sure a Ranger would understand: if even I can't win I have to try, it's a duty thing.

I never said I "believed" what I saw. I am not gullible, so keep your judgement calls to yourself, know-it-all. What I SAID was.......the show made me realize that I COULD receive messages myself.....don't need a medium for that.

PS: Placing this on the level with the Nigerian scam is insulting and idiotic. You ARE a real piece of work. No compassionate conservative here, no-siree. Just a mean and uncaring knee-jerk (emphasis on JERK.)
