Why do people continue to pay psychics to "read the future", talk to the dead, find missing persons, etc? Are these people just incredibly weak minded and so unhappy with their own lives that they seek a security blanket? Sylvia Brown, Rosemary Altea, and John Edwards have all been debunked time and again. In fact, Penn and Teller caught Rosemary Altea's entire fraudulent system on videotape, exposing her as a complete fraud yet people continue to pay her! Why are large portions of the population so susceptible to this type of fraud? If psychics are "professionals" as they claim and just the way that doctors and lawyers are "professionals", should pyschics not be required to take a standardized test of their pyschic ability as administered by a neutral, independant authority in order to be licensed like any other professional?
