		<description>I know it&#039;s cliched, but what the hell kind of drugs is this guy on???  Or maybe this is the disjointed automatic writing from one of Bonnie&#039;s &quot;clients&quot;.</description>

		<description>Actually, I&#039;d say we&#039;re quite mindful robots.  We have one main tenet: follow verifiable evidence.  I take medicine every day that is manufactured by &#039;Big Pharma&#039; and with high efficacy and low side-effect, so as long as they have good science to back up their claims, &#039;Big Pharma&#039; trumps Alternative Medicine any day.</description>

		<description>absolutey draining, critical hubris in its utmost &quot;certainty&quot;, bitter-critical predatory &quot;analysis&quot;, which is unable to feel the breeze - for a change...Go to the fields, work in Morocco with the Berbers for a change ( they know what working hard means, yet the Berbers sing and dance their heart content, regardless of all your cynical criticism - knowing that one is a yo-yo of the sky ( Allah, the creator, the ultimate, you name it). Leave your ( well-paid or not) criticism for a few second - and have the courage of shut up while one dance the dances of the dances....Then...came back to your endless inner-outer babbling.</description>

		<description>Direct from Ms. Vent&#039;s website:

&quot;Celebrity clients include:  Michael Jackson, George Carlin, Steve Irwin and more. Validation has been provided on all of these mediumistic communications. This same high quality spirit communication work is now available to you.&quot;

and:

&quot;If you are looking to connect with someone who has passed, Bonnie Vent will connect to those who have passed and who are able to communicate with you at the time of the reading. You will be free to ask the spirit person questions and receive answers in real time.  This is very much like having a conversation. Normally they will provide information that identifies them exclusively to you.  Validation is a very important part of this process. The intention is to leave no doubt that a real conversation has occurred with your loved one.&quot;

If that doesn&#039;t imply that she&#039;s contacting Jackson during private readings (for which she charges real, actual money, rather than ghost dollars), then I&#039;m a poo-flinging monkey&#039;s uncle.</description>
