I didn't realize that all skeptics were either "negative nay-sayers" or
"atheists". Where'd he learn this, at Maharishi International
University? At least the author recognizes that "imagination deficient"
isn't a "scientifically proven" trait. Apparently it's just a label to
apply to people who question the validity of "imaginative" subjects like
Transcendental Meditation and quantum metaphysics.
Oops, I'm being unimaginative again. Better go check my blood
pressure...
