Give these folks a dose of reality --- if they can't back up what they
claim, then they should shut the hell up. The world needs less people
CLAIMING and more people DOING.
As for the whole rant about reality - it wasn't really directed at the
'bending of the spoon' phenomenon... just a general gripe I have with
science. Hmm... I should probably write some of this stuff down someday.
