A well-intentioned friend forwarded a copy of your email saying that you were chosen to be a finalist for a MidHudson Valley Choice award. You felt the need to use the opportunity to make a political statement about voting out President Bush. In doing so, you immediately raised doubt in my mind about the credibility of you and your store which I was able to confirm by visiting your website. So, I will be voting for some other store in your category and I will be forwarding your email to my mailing list most of whom will no doubt arrive at the same conclusion.

I looked over some of your products and it's clear that you are not a very critical thinker or, contrary to your supposed spiritual nature, you prey on the emotional weaknesses of others for the sake of making money. For example, your "Double Star Resonator for Negative and Violent Energies" for $50 which "projects a frequency which is calming and non-violent". Can you please explain to me how this works? You throw in a scattering of technical terms, so surely there is a scientific basis for this and those words aren't just to try and lend an appearance of legitimacy to a fraudulent device.

Or how about your Chakra Mala for $69. I would have thought it was just a bracelet of inexpensive beads on a string and been confused by the extremely inflated price, but thanks to your store, I now know it is a powerful talisman which "assists you in achieving illumining vision with whatever issues you are working by clearing and elevating your body's subtle energies."

Perhaps I'm making a mistake by being somewhat sarcastic because it might justify directing your ire at me rather than causing some introspection that might instead lead to your looking in the mirror and asking how you can sleep at night knowing you're misleading and defrauding people.

Please leave the serious thinking to people who think with their brain.

I apologize for not providing my full name and email-- it is not normally my style, but I do not wish to hurt my friend whom I care greatly about despite my inability to steer him or her away from this kind of tripe.
