Thanks for the YT insights on psychics True_Avery. The one on Uri Gellar is especially interesting, Lol, I remember him...he was definitly a fraud. And I will kept in mind what you said, thank you for the advice.
Btw, sorry for the late reply. I was laid up in the hospital for months with some serious medical issues. All better now.....I hope.

Looks like it may have been a case of "last straw". Had to look it up. According to WP article, he was let go from his paid position, but told he called remain affiliated w/AEI. Frankly, in his case, it might be just as well. Now he's freer to say to find an outfit more in keeping w/his views and doesn't have to worry about censoring himself. Guess they handed him an opportunit of sorts.
However, read his "Waterloo" article and think he was overstating it a bit. Reps were at a serious disadvantage in terms of numbers. I think even several conservative pundits felt reasonably certain that something was going to pass, and the dems were going to do it as soon as they had the #s. However, the proponents of the bill shouldn't be too quick to celebrate till the courts (essentially the SC) come down on their side in the end. Ain't nothing like having the "fat lady sing" to signify victory/defeat/ending/etc..

What are your thoughts on David Frum being fired for saying that Beck, Fox, etc hijacked the Republican party and ultimately led to their "defeat" on Health Care?
If you don't know, start at 2 minutes into this video for his comments:

Thanks. The metaphor is bleeding in the corner, but I think it made good use of itself.

Nice "cog" post in the socialism thread, you might have abused a metaphor, but it looks a damn sight better than my draft for, basically the same post, which was turning into multi page monster of an introduction to antropology.

Psychics are cheats who manipulate the weak minded into following them and giving them money. You've been duped, and you've been duped hard. You've fallen prey to a logical fallacy called False Dilemma, and I'd say that I hope it doesn't bite you in the butt some day but I'd be lying.
Good day.

The Japanese original looks better.
Sounds similar to what I was thinking about, but computers aren't involved. What I'm thinking about could amount to a form of contagious mental illness, or something more than that.
Really, though, I'm just waxing stupid and throwing ideas around. Not surprising that someone's come up with something similar.
