It's virtually impossible to read any decent skeptical viewpoint in any newspaper (including the quality broadsheets), such viewpoints are normally relegated to a single paragraph at the end of the 2 page spread covering the latest dozy claim of some chancer. So it was with great pleasure that I read this piece (http://news.scotsman.com/scitech.cfm?id=1326452004) in the Scotsman. Enjoy!

As a nation we probably have a low percentage of non-skeptics (I don't like the term 'woo-woo'). We're all hideously embarassed about the whole Helen Duncan thing, honest!
