I've never been to a psychic or fortuneteller.
But, I'm against licensing of psychics.
What's next, licensing of churches?

Maybe they're only peripheral visionaries, like Stephen Wright........and why doesn't the psychic on the hot line know my name when I call?

Exactly what is the difference between a rogue clairvoyant and an ethical fortune teller? A license?
Time to form a union to control unregulated workers.
Amalgamated Witches of Salem sounds about right to me.

..dozens of psychics argued before a city licensing panel about what the future holds if Salem cracks down on rogue clairvoyants."Rogue" clairvoyants? They must be the ones who tell you "lady,I don't have the foggiest idea what the future has in store for you".
To: Momaw Nadon
... rogue clairvoyants ...
Is that what we used to call Gypsies in a less enlightened time? LOL

How does the government distinguish between a legitimate psychic and a charlatan? Sould there be a test? What would the criteria be?
This is clearly a case of government overstepping its bounds, and is most probably not Constitutional.

Yeah, I saw that one coming, too.
Did you ever wonder why you never see help wanted ads for phsycics? The psychic hotlines require a lot of psychics, 3 shifts, 24/7/365, to man all the phones, and yet you never see a help wanted ad for all those thousands of job positions.
What I think is, the psychics just *know* where the job openings are and just go there.

If the city is going to license them, then they will be accountable for all frauds.
What is their litmus test for licensing?

I saw this one coming. Didn't AlGore invent the Tarot card deck just before he invented the internet?

The article then goes on to say:
"The city now issues licenses to four shops, which can then license five individual psychics apiece."
So, should the city then restrict the number of churches or the number of priests each church can have?

In a paranormal public hearing last night, dozens of psychics argued before a city licensing panel about what the future holds... If they're real psychics, shouldn't they already know what the future holds?
