As loathe as I am to generate any more posting traffic in off-topic.debate, I have something to ask of Lugnetters that I know doesn't belong anyplace else. I have a friend who has become involved in a MLM- Quixtar, to be exact. I want to dissuade (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I don't have the direct personal experience, but one of my wife's neighbors was in Amway, and ended up having to declare bankruptcy - the minimum order sizes necessary to get anything meant they ended up with a huge stock of stuff they couldn't sell (...)

(...) Ack! In the past you have repeatedly advocated that education should be doled out in quantities proportional to the ability to learn. Now you are saying that it should be equal.

(...) I see no contradiction in what I am saying. I/you/we are mixing school/higher education. The UK system provides education up to the 16.
