Another woo story in the LA Times...

This time it's yet another story about "facilitated communication," even though every time, and I mean EVERY time facilitated communication is tested under proper scientific protocols, (like making sure the facilitator can't see what is supposedly being pointed out by the victim,) facilitated communication fails. Totally.

Except, the Ouija board might be a bit more authentic.

Facilitated communication is nothing more than a cruel joke on the family of the one being facilitated.

A fake. Just like what I just posted.

I'm surprised the woo gang isn't jumping in ass first, as always.
