The psychic community today delivered a 5000 strong petition against new laws which are asking for the peddlers in the supernatural to prove their abilities or reveal the fact that they are for entertainment only. The psychics who delivered the petition to enforce that their belief in their own powers should not be questioned was not deterred by the fact that they delivered the petition on a day when the Prime Minister Gordon Brown was not in the Country, and they blatantly ignored the headlining jubes about their failure to see the new law coming.
Personally I think this is a good and a bad thing. First off these guys are all con merchants in my opinion, but in the same vein if we make things too easy then natural selection will fall down and all the really stupid people will have just that little bit of an extra chance to reproduce.
There is another downside though, the good old placebo. Yes, While these idiotics, fanatics, and conmen pull away these peoples hard earned savings they do occasionally manage to pull off something that is a real miracle. Occasionally the homeopathic, religious healing, magnetic, ESP related treatments despite all practical tests do manage to work.
Now Personally I put this down to more of a power of the body kind of thing, but should a treatment that releases the power of ones own body really be so easily discounted from our system?
