What they were shouting was: &#8220;BANKS GOT BAILED OUT &#8211; WE GOT SOLD OUT!&#8221; Over and over again. And over again. I am actually a [...]]]></description>

I started doing these unpsychic predictions for fun, and I don&#8217;t take them very seriously. But it is interesting how many things I did &#8220;hit&#8221; on, even if somewhat obliquely. Last year, I was right [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in my late 20s, I was trained to become a Reiki Master. Reiki is a gentle form of energy healing that is supposed to be safe and effective. It involves the laying on of hands in person, and can be done &#8220;via distance&#8221; through meditation and visualization. Reiki has its &#8220;generic&#8221; form, and many [...]]]></description>

Sadly, I&#8217;ve determined Occupy Wall Street is not it. I was intrigued at first, but a nagging feeling about the movement grew until it became a full-blown bad feeling. The [...]]]></description>

Ascent From Darkness is an extremely disturbing but still hopeful book that describes the descent of a young man into satanism and his redemption.  If you are a believer in the supernatural, you&#8217;ll be spooked [...]]]></description>

Yes, I understand religious fanatics can get out of hand, but to let a small minority of spiritual obsessives define all spiritual people is about as useful as equating extreme [...]]]></description>
