ON THE STREET

This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "What do you think about telephone psychic readings?"

Lisa Newman, Cape Girardeau

"I think they're phonies. There's a certain way to read into people by giving them your birthday and your month, They'll ask you a question like, Have you been having money problems? It's a common question. They ask basic questions and you get common answers."

Charles Hickman, Perryville

"I think it's a bunch of crap. If I had the ability to project the future, I'd be a multimillionaire.

Joe Blattner, Jackson

"I think they're full of crap. I don't believe in that stuff. It's just the way I was brought up."

Marilyn Nall, East Cape Girardeau, Ill.

"I think it's a lot of baloney. I don't believe in it. I don't believe anybody can really tell the future."

Alan Ford, Jackson

"I just don't believe in it. I don't agree with it. I think it's a bunch of crap and that it leans a little bit toward the occult side. I think if anybody puts much faith into it that it could be a little dangerous."
