	I agree that psionics are not necessarily parlor tricks.  Sure
they could be, but on the other hand, in a psionic society a number of
things that exist here to serve essentially the same purpose may never
get developed.
	I disagree strongly that psionics makes you a "good" person.
If a person is already "good" then he will probably remain so
(although what did they say about absolute power?), but suppose your
telepath happens to be a sadist?  It seems to me that telepathic power
will enhance that aspect of him, since he can now experience other's
pain directly...
