“professional” pseudo skeptics such as the failed magician who calls himself “Amazing Randi” all had an agenda that seemed more akin to the mentality of medievil monks rather than true open minded critical thinkers.

Um…how many charlatans, and snake oil salesmen, did “The Amazing Randi” expose as frauds by replicating their “astonishing” feats? What’s “paranormalist” Uri Geller up to these days?
