She preyed on innocent people in a moment of weakness for financial gain. Even worse they now associated her lies with their missing loved one instead of actual memories. We're better off as a species without her and anyone like her.
I'd say any psychic who can't even predict her own death accurately is a pretty crappy psychic. An asterisk indicates, and links to, a footnote. Maybe putting "psychic" in ironic quotation marks would have been clearer.
And you did use ironic quotes around the word "psychic." Twice. However, there should be a linking asterisk thus: Sorry, don't mean to be a Punctuation Nazi.
One of the local radio DJs played a pretty devastating series of clips where she was telling parents of missing children that their child was dead, then following up with the info they were found alive years later. The only word I can use to describe this is "despicable".
Incredibly accurate summary of her, and her ilk, I should think, although Mr. Randi was far more kind and restrained than I would have been.
That would be because James Randi is a truly classy guy. I think it saddened him that this was the way it ended between the two of them.
If she stolen all that money from out of people's purses during funerals I don't think people would be saying they were sad she died. What she did was actually much worse.
Yep. I said the same thing when I saw the article. Give me the winning lottery numbers and I'll believe you're psychic... otherwise you're a fraud.
Sylvia Browne was not good at it. None of them are good at it. That doesn't stop them from making a fortune doing it.
I dunno, seems to me she was pretty good at spinning bullshit people would pay for. That's a skill! And one a lot of people make money at, it seems.
