"Tomorrow Never Knows," the best Beatles cover ever.

I couldn't get out of there fast enough and never went back. I will note for those who wouldn't know the details that the Amway families AND Eric Prince of Blackwater were actually Dutch Christian Reformed, the most conservative of the Dutch church options. (yes I know Prince converted to Catholicism.) My Dad and Eric Prince's Dad were roommates my Dad's first year of grad school at Michigan, in a sort of fraternity called Dutch House, founded in the 30s to make sure there was a good safe Christian home for Dutch boys to live in the dangerous town of Ann Arbor. Some years ago my Dad ran into to Father Prince at a restaurant in downtown Holland and was delighted to be introduced to his companion, James Dobson.

Camille Paglia is Ann Coulter with a bigger vocabulary, and an even greater talent for pulling factoids out of her ass that no one can challenge because no one, no matter how well educated, knows what the fuck she's talking about. She's done some clever writing and I've enjoyed it on occasion, but I think she's tap-dancing her way through her career as a public intellectual. Danny—

Family members were sucked into it when I was growing up, and none of them seemed any richer than my dad who simply worked hard at his work-a-day job. It's just a Ponzi. Selling greed and pushing overpriced household goods. My cousin worked in Amway’s warehouse for 35 years and retired from there.
