August Strangeness
In an Indianapolis Star article (2006-08-02) we learn about Historic Indiana Ghost Walks and Tours. This entirely uncritical article appears to be free advertisement for their spooky tours.
The Fort Wayne Gazette (2006-08-04) points out that The Northeastern Indiana Better Business Bureau is warning consumers about psychics and loan scams. The BBB does good work, but some additional critical thinking education could make their job much easier and save victims of these frauds lots of time, money, and heartache.
Finally in this Indianapolis Star article (2006-08-05) we receive another warning about the importance of using one's critical faculties. This warning is brought to us by documentarian Stanley Nelson in his film Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple. This documentary details The Peoples Temple, a cult which started here in Indiana and famously committed mass suicide at Jonestown, Guyana in 1978.
