		<description>@Brian Wood: that wouldn&#039;t happen to be at Treasure Island (or Grand Casino?) would it?  

@Stephanie M: the last advice you gave appears to have hit the nail on the head!</description>

		<description>I hope there no psychic powers because if I had them I would abuse them case in point when I was in high school I was picked on and I like the Steven King film Carie and the book I wished I had Caries powers so I do to bullys what she did at the prom . The good thing is I don&#039;t have psychic powers as for talking to the dead you can&#039;t and I would not even want to (If any one who I went to high school with is worried after reading this do&#039;nt be one of the reasons I am a Catholic is because I beleve in forgiving others )</description>

		<description>If psychics existed surely we&#039;d all be psychic due to the evolutionary advantage of being able to predict the future, read people&#039;s thoughts, etc.

Unless psychic abilities are a very recent mutation of course.</description>

		<description>I predict with my psychic predilections that Phil enjoys wasting our time with honest-to-god articles scrutinizing daytime television.</description>

		<description>Gary@20, hard to love Whoopi when she say that Polanski really &quot;didn&#039;t rape rape&quot; a 13 year old girl after he drugged, raped, and sodomized her.  But aside from that.

In the last few days I have been re-reading Farmer&#039;s Riverworld, where everyone who has ever lived is resurrected on a terraformed world that is a single million mile long river.  Virtually every lives a stone age existence, even those who died in the 20th Century.

It got me to thinking about how few people really live at more than a stone age intellectual level.  It doesn&#039;t take more than stone age skills to drive a car, run a microwave, watch TV.  The only people who really NEED logical, advanced thinking skills are folks like the engineers, designers, scientists and programmers.  Our education system gives the smart ones the chance to learn the great things.  But for the rest, critical thinking skills aren&#039;t really needed.  Superstition lives in the primitive mind.  Our society is primarily composed of primitives.   I don&#039;t see astrology and psychics going away any time soon.

		<description>Psychics, hmm! I am very sceptical (I&#039;m from England we spell words a little differently) of all paranormal phenomenon, everything from super powers to little aliens leaving nice pictures in farmers fields. Psychics really get me angry, well maybe not angry annoyed is probably a better word, here in super intelligent (ha ha ha) England/Britain we have some awful psychic, Dennis McKenzie, claiming he helped the police solve an awful, Goddamn terrible crime, that of the murder of two young girls. The man is so obviously lying, the account of his involvement deluded, his ability to communicate with the dead a fabrication (there&#039;s not such thing as life after death, because, well you&#039;re dead) yet a publisher has released his book which makes outrageous claims of him solving crimes both here in the UK (it gets confusing living here, we have so many different titles for our Queen&#039;s nation) and in the United States of A. A popular British newspaper (I use that term very loosely) recently contained a news article of this buffoon. Why do people have to be so stupid? I always thought the human race was supposed to be intelligent, boy was I wrong!</description>
