Political and Emotional Blackmail
There’s an election coming up in the USA. It’s the big one. Next Tuesday we will decide who becomes president for the next four years. My personal world is inundated with political messages.

J.O.B.
A very long time ago I got sucked into Amway for a couple of years. Along with the $200 a month in products I was expected to buy, I was also encouraged to purchase “motivational” material. The actual Amway products counted toward my monthly goal. The dream building tapes and promotional literature did not. Some…
