If their goal is to rid the area of con artists working out in the open, they should make a trip to the State House when it is in session.

I hope they don’t ban fortune cookies at the Chinese restaurants. My kids love those silly thing. We laugh our heads off at the end of eating when we read some of them.

Theyre all no better than 3 card monte dealers and SHOULD be shut down, just more con artists working out in the open.
I feel the same way anytime Ernest Angley or Benny Hinn come to town.

I am unfamiliar with how these places operate. Do they make actual concrete claims about their "services"? Yes, anyone with an IQ above 70 should be able to see astrology, faith-healing, dianetics, parapsychology, homeopathy (bite me, homeos),
traditional chiropractic (read up on the basis of
traditional chiropractic "medicine"), and all other forms of magical thinking and quackery as offering no more value than any other form of entertainment.
But if proprietors are making verifiable claims and not delivering on the agreed terms of service, then yes, they should be sued by wronged clients, and forced by the government to abide by any civil court rulings, as per all other agreements pertaining to contract law (up to and including forfeiture of property if necessary to obtain monetary compensation). Should they be shut down by the government? No. If particular circumstances warrant it, they should be investigated to obtain formal evidence of coercion; under this condition, criminal and civil charges are appropriate.
Liberty is good, everyone should try it some time.

Course you could change the law and let people peacefully earn their moneySure. Just take theft off the books. Voila'. No more thieves.

You and I may believe that but many people do believe it and, its there own money - just like on-line gambling.That's like saying a Ponzi scheme is no more than a somewhat risky investment. You got a lot to learn, boy.

I knew that would eventually cause a problem.
