John Edward is on Larry

John Edward is on Larry King of the Paranormal on CNN, and its a little slow so we're watching it. Now I don't believe in the whole psychic thing. This guy really gets me and so do all those like him. This is one of two things that Mrs M and I cannot agree on at all. All I can offer is articles like this one to refute the belief in this guy. There's also more articles here on him. And here's one for the road.

These articles focus on him in particular but the tricks are universally used by all "psychics". It's a shame that people can make money by preying on other's grief.

The last word needs to go to James Randi:

People not only want it to be true, they need it to be true. It's the feel good syndrome. Everyone wants to be reassured about loved ones who have passed. Just once I want to find a spiritualist who says, 'Oh, well, sorry. She went to hell and I can't reach her.'
