The psychics have always failed. Thanks for the feedback. I suppose these "police psychics" are as phoney as the "Christian Faith Healing Cults", and that incorporates every denomination of Christianity I know of. They are always begging for a dime. The Salvation Army even has its hucksters out now with wireless debit machines in hand to ply the trade of the golden fleece, according to last night's news reports. While they are "being modern", one might expect some of these fraudsters to set up an easily-conducted experiment and claim your million $ for the faith-healing which they claim to practice. Freedom of religion etc. is not freedom to lie and defraud the public. Keep up the good work!
