I can't say it any better than my dear friend Kath (Which reminds me........when you coming home and how come I haven't heard from you??????)........has said. She hit it exactly. Years ago I used to make the tapes of Rich and Jay's motivational speaches for sales to the distributors, read that saps. Took me about 2 months to realize what these vultures were all about. Just recently a friend of mine that worked for them for 30 years was let go in a massive layoff. These are people that devoted themselves to this company for years and were rewarded with an unceremonious dumping in order to preserve the profit margins so the DeVos's and Van Andel's can maintain their lifestyle.

Kath, it cracks me up how much we think alike. I was speaking before a committee meeting on the naming of all of these structures and I wondered out loud if it was harder for DeVos to give his millions, or the father who donated $15 for each of his kids to put their name on a little plaque in the hall. Who had made the greater sacrifice? I mentioned that I thought we sometimes honor the wrong heroes.
