Bostonist just ran across an interesting tidbit of news from this past Sunday's Globe City Weekly section. According to the piece, a Fortune Teller who does business in Harvard Square has been accused of extortion by a disgruntled customer. Apparently, Rosalita Stevens -- proprietor of Mystic Rosa -- promised a customer that for the fee of $7,875 she would remove a curse against him. Though the Cambridge Police have launched an investigation and recovered the customer's money, Stevens now faces a disciplinary hearing before the Cambridge Licensing Board.
This begs the question...how in the hell does the City of Cambridge determine whether a Fortune Teller is legit enough to be issued a license to practice? And if this fortune teller was real enough to fit the criteria for licensure, shouldn't she have seen this coming?

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has positive side. It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.
