I'll third that!

Although I disagree with this. I think people do have that, but they have been "trained" by the ads to have some unrealistic expectations. My current job wasn't offered to me with a glamor writeup attached to it (I'm teaching anatomy and physiology at the university) -- if it HAD been, I'd probably have been in complete despair over it by now and ready to quit.
So it's not lack on the people's part... it's misleading information.

Uhm... that's not true of all the rich people around. I know a number of very wealthy people, including a poorly educated man who got into the oil drilling business and made quite a fortune. Others learned a trade or skill and stuck with it (one's an artist, one is a doctor.) What they DID have was the right idea at the right time and good mentors and role models to help them along. None of the ones I know is an information junkie (I'm the info junkie).

That's the key -- you (and other smart investors) invest in information that is about your business. Not "everything out there." That's a waste of time, IMHO.
I think that anyone interested in running a home business would do well to talk to others in the business (free information) and find out more honest details about the setup. But I don't think that buying everything around does much good... and instead of the money going to enrich you, it goes to enrich folks -- including some passing off some very dubious information.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
