The problem is that, while some fanatics are that stupid, most have just enough of a survival instinct to know that that would be an inherently bad idea. The Klan may have a march down Main Street of Quittman, Georgia, and, as a result, be attacked by one of the residents (they crossed his property line and ignored repeated warnings; the Wizard was shot in the leg with a 20 ga.), but they won't repeat the incident in someplace like Watts or Harlem.

On a slightly related note, does the UF continuum include the other Genner worlds of the Foglio-verse? I suspect that the Psmyth mass-mind might find the PsiCorps to a bit irritating. I suspect that doing a deep probe on the populace of an entire planet all at once would be as difficult as it sounds.
