It is Cater's polite suggestion is that Randi may be completely unaware of his "ability", but that his belief in skepticism is so strong that it overwhelms a potential applicant That's the most ridiculous assertion I have read in a long time. That is Cater's opinion. My opinion is that they are both equally up themselves. Randi is not a person. He is an ego. There was a clip from around 1980 recently re-aired on our Channel 9. Back in the 70/80 period we had "The Don Lane Show". Don Lane was a chat-show host who owed the continued existence of his show to his side-kick Bert Newton. The bit that re-aired was the finality of his interview with Randi. "You're ***** ! We're going to an ad-break and you can just PISS OFF!" I so wish I had a disc inserted at the time, I would be copying it up to Gootube. Maybe someone else has. From all the reading I've done, only Randi's devout followers think kindly of him, and everyone else (even other skeptics) have nothing polite to say at all. My personal opinion is that James Randi is the polar opposite of L. Ron Hubbard. They have both appropriated other people's materials and used them as their own, and they've both been caught doing it. Randi loves attributing Churchill-esque quotes to himself (even in conversations that never happened). Hubbard's personal history, if true, means his name should occupy 50% of Tthe Guinness Book of Records. Now add Michelle Malkin to the mix, and we should have enough bull shit to never have to worry about oil again.
