Wish we could tell viewers, if you go to a garage sale and buy a Doctor's bag full of everything needed would you then open a practice?"
I know, right? I'm not a doctor, but I've seen them on TV.
What I think we're dealing with here ladies is what I would coin as "paranormal religion". You get the popular personalities who people look up to, watch their shows, listen and believe most everything they say, buy their books, t-shirts, etc. and they follow them. This is the same thing as in religion as when people take on the belief system as "absolute truth" and they follow those they believe in without question. I'm not knocking religion as I was in it myself for many years, but the fact remains that people believe and trust in those they follow. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that if it involves the truth.
I don't waste time watching paranormal TV because you have to sit for 60 minutes to extract 1-5% of truth [% points based on opinion only].
