You evidently did not watch the complete episode of Mythbusters that dealt with the validity of hypnosis. Please go back and watch the full episode and you will see that we had two hypnotists on that program. While the first one did not produce the desired results, the second hypnotist proved without a doubt that hypnosis is real and can produce beneficial results. (Dr. Dave Hill was the qualified hypnotist that produced the surprising results with the improved memory test results after the mock package delivery driver altercation.) From a scientific point of view, by not having your facts correctly researched and then erroneously stated in your article, that causes any additional stated facts to be questioned as to their validity... i.e. "1 out of 4 dollars spent on Community Education comes from taxpayers..." May we suggest next time to help validate your point that you include the study or research paper that shows how you arrived at those figures. It would also be of benefit to your point of view to include the total amount of taxpayer dollars spent on community education. If the total cost of the program is $400 and only one hundred taxpayer dollars are being spent to promote community education, it might be possible the majority of taxpayers feel it is a good investment... especially if it helps promote things like community involvement, diversity and cultural respect and understanding.
