Anonymous guests have no right to dictate Mudcatters' behavior. I mean, give me a break already.

You posted to get a response, you got one. You must be delirious with pleasure.

(quote) "....how stupid and sad it seems that it is okay for *friends* to heap such ridicule. This has been going on for a long time, here, at the Mudcat." Well my sincere apologies for unintentionally contributing to an apparently *already existing* situation that has this subject as a "favorite punching bag". This is a surprise to me.

However I do take exception to someone here immediately resorting to concious nastiness as in this opening : ( quote ) "I remember a few months ago when some *idiot* decided to pose that same question..... ...."Maybe it's even the same idiot, who knows?"

This doesn't sound like much of a pre-existent "agreeing to disagree" policy to me. I was quite content to just let the thread dissolve away as I read to see whom would share in the humor. Apparently , by your commentary , there already is some "unresolved" sensitivity regarding the treatment of this subject. Again, my apologies. I could not know and , considering the subject's sensitivity , I won't make the easy wisecrack of why. However if anything is censorable it is *usually* the resorting to insult and name calling right out of the gate to make one's counter-point. This gets my Irish up and , again , my apologies for giving in to the passions of a moment's provocation. I'll govern my future threads more cautiously though there is this odd queasiness over redress from a messageboard that allowed well over 100 posts on the enlightened subject of , how shall I put this delicately, "breaking wind".

But far be it for me to cry foul. I'm just a guest here.

"Someone who really has the *Gift*"... Is probably just as deluded about the rest of their lives as well...

I doubt the Psychic would be caught, Amos. After all, shouldn't he/she forsee that the FBI was searching for him/her? They would hide out in a place where they would know they would be safe.

Someone who really has the *Gift* would hold it close, sharing it with others who seek and are respectful. (No one would have believed anyone if they had tried to warn about WTC.) They do not hawk it on tv, nor shout it from the rooftops, and they do not charge money for it.

They most definitely would not share it in a forum such as this. One reason, for me, at least, is how stupid and sad it seems that it is okay for *friends* to heap such ridicule. This has been going on for a long time, here, at the Mudcat. We've worked through the "agree to disagree" and "try to be respectful" on a lot of issues, but this one, which must make a lot of people uncomfortable, seems to still be a favourite punching bag. Like I said, sad and stupid and most definitley censorous.

I think Clinton has actually invented a NEW epithet -- "You don't have enough balls to call a Bingo game". Right up there with Fields' "I wouldn' piss in yer ear if yer brain was on fire...." and the like. Good job, CH!

"Where were the *psychics* on 9/11?"

Same as always... they were running around with their heads up their collective butts, bilking emotionally needy people out of money they probably should spend on counselling...

And maybe treadmills...

Round up all the 'psychics' and let them call bingo... they should be able to do it without the balls...

Yup. As I thought. Same idiot.

No nerve touched...in fact I notice YOU spent a LOT of time jumping up and down (albeit too far from a dictionary to spell anything correctly) and pointing the finger at me. I do not take crap like this personally. I am really way too busy for that. But good luck getting a life.

My, my, didn't mean to blow smoke up yer wicka . In reference to yer denegration of "Loyal Order Village Idiocy " one would could only observe that , at a gathering of "the leaders" ( no less ) of the pagan community, one pagan's idiot is another person's savant. Y'all didn't vote to turn him into a goat now did ya?

(quote) "Maybe it's even the same idiot, who knows?"

Oh my ,Ms Peg , you *are* taking the kidding of psychics way too seriously and where you apparently take it so very *personally* , as if it's an attack on your "wickaness" as to compare this to an attack on "the leaders"( all gods be praised )of the pagan community suggests to me that there's apparently more than ritual nookie going on 'round ye ol' Stonehenge these days, right,right?

If a psychic HAD walked into a gov dept. and said he had "seen" two planes crashing into WTC, Pentagon etc. who would have listened to them, let alone believed them?

I remember a few months ago when some idiot decided to pose that same question to the "leaders" of the pagan community; along the lines of, hey you guys are witches, why didn't you KNOW this would happen?

Maybe it's even the same idiot, who knows? In any case this troll does not deserve a reply.

One thing about the CIA,and the FBI for that matter: for all their vast expenditures on so-called "intelligence" they have a miserable track record in predicting both the occurrence and direction of major events. For example the Iranian revolution of 1979, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the OK City bombing, the invasion of North America by the Beatles, etc. And obviously whatever they might have known about the WTC plans, they didn't do shit about it. (For that matter, the only reason the WTC didn't come down in 1993 was incredibly inept planning on the part of those bombers: they didn't know there were lower basement levels under where they parked the bomb, and the energy was diffused downwards)

I think part of the reason that intelligence agencies aren't very effective is that the high-status jobs in CIA and affiliates have to do with "Operations", influencing world events, rather than dispassionately studying them which is their supposed primary mandate.

W-O

Well on the other hand, none of them seem to have been at the WTC either, so maybe they knew, but just stayed away. Under the new American with us or against us laws, maybe we should charge them with complicity in terrorism?

Probably the same place all the "Psychic Friends" Network people were before the company went bankrupt. Apparently three or four hundred of them failed to see into the future that they were gonna work several weeks without being paid....and then get fired.

Shucks, I would have figgered out there was something wrong the moment the TV ads stopped running......maybe I'M psychic!

With all of the preparation for the rememberance of this 21st century Pearl Harbor/ New York-style I just vent this question for the ages; Where the hell were all these so-called psychics , and their *channeling* prowess , *before* 9/11.

Got to be a song in their somewhere.
