I find it amazing that so many class "discussions" are conclusively decided before they are begun. But, how what else could result if the discussion leader believes the discussion topic to be full of "ignorance, superstitions, and delusions". I wonder upon which lofty tower of objectivity such educators stand? --Mike

Isn't the approach taken by Dr. Lisa Miller the same road traveled by those who promoted repressed memories? Anyway, this is a possible class discussion question I had in mind in bringing up the Psychic Kids program. Gary Gerald L.
