So it is with MLM. Take a super smart guy like
Howard Ruff, get him on the subject of MLM and there, right
before your eyes, you'll see his eyes glaze over and his brain
begin to melt. He will become unreachable and unteachable.
Burn him once and he'll come back for more. Because, as they
say, "It's not the
concept that was bad, it was the people."

Wrong. Everything about MLM is bad. MLM is not
inherently evil but it does (nearly always) attract inherently
evil people. Even if you start out with good products, good
intentions and good people, you will eventually, if you grow a
little, attract a massive amount of human scum into your
operation. And, even if this were not true, the whole
idea is still stupid. When you shuck right down to the
cob, MLM is simply a magnet for lazy people who are looking
for a way to sell without selling.

The whole thing sucks.

Now, let me save some of you some time and
energy. Many people are going to read what I've just written
and they are going to want to explain to me where I've missed
the boat. They'll say, "Yes, what you say is normally true, but this deal is
different. We've got the greatest product in the world and
it's totally backed up by unbiased scientific research. Not
only that, some of the finest people in America are in our
organization. We've got lawyers, judges, doctors,
millionaires, clergymen, and so on. Yes Gary, what you say is usually
right but us... we're different."

I don't care. What you're doing is still
stupid and, as far as I'm concerned, you can take your
"green beans," your Nu-Skin, your wonder vitamins,
your gold certificates, etc. and...

Stuff 'Em Where

The Sun Don't Shine!

I wonder, could there be anyone out there
still confused about how I feel about MLM? Yes, I'm sure there
are since, in my opinion, MLM is an I.Q. lowering drug that
should probably be regulated by the FDA. Therefore, for those
of you reading this who want to write or phone me about MLM,
you'll be wasting your time. My staff has been told they can
be fired just for giving me a
message from someone who is writing or phoning about MLM.
If you are involved in MLM, I don't want you at my seminars, I
don't want to hear your voice on the phone, I don't want to
read your letters, I don't want to meet you in person and
basically...
