		<description>I&#039;m not a lawyer, which is probably why I don&#039;t understand why these liars and thieves such as Browne can&#039;t be charged with fraud and do cold reading on the rats in their cells nibbling on their fingers and toes while waiting for a court date to prove they have the powers they claim.

Having failed to prove they are what they claim, they can be sent back to their cells as the thieves, frauds, liars, and cons they are to continue to do cold reading on rats and roaches for a number of years.

There are a number of laws dealing with those who do basically what so called psychics do, lie in order to separate people from their money, why aren&#039;t those laws applicable to the Sylvia Brownes?</description>

		<description>Good for them. Sylvia Browne should be burned at the stake. Just kidding. It looks like she ate all the &quot;steaks&quot;. She is a sham and should be stopped.</description>
