Then you should sue them or at least complain to the higher authorities.

Although my guess is they just wrote you off as another kook and you are deluded about why they have not re-contacted you.

I complained to higher authorities, and that put an end to their contact with me. If P&G and I ever wind up in court, you can be sure the FBI will have some explaining to do.

Mainly I suspect because you put a disclaimer at the bottom and their lawyers said it won't be worth it.

From what we see over here American libel suits always name exorbitant sums.

That was no disclaimer. What I said was the absolute truth. Anyway, that wouldn't have stopped P&G from suing me. Even the Cincinnati Enquirer reporter asked me in the beginning why P&G didn't sue me, and then I told her.

Fairly easy I guess, take the disclaimer of the bottom of your piece or just accuse them of being in league with 'Satan'. Although given that they've had to abandon that logo due to fruit-loops like you and the fact that they live in a god-bothering society I guess they don't want the issue raised all over again as it hurts business.

Why did they keep going after Amway, idiot?

Because Amway was in competition and actually had assets worth suing for? Just a guess.

Well ok, here's a question for you on that very subject: do you now claim they repudiate it and refuse to answer your emails?

There's no question that the paper goes against every fiber of their organization, and their letter had absolutely no chance of ever being written without divine intervention.

So when you say they were "blown away with it" you don't actually mean they agreed with it, which is what I believe they last said?

The man said, "What can I say? Your argument is fascinating, tightly reasoned, for sure. But I have to wonder, is it true?" Even though the paper represents everything his organization is totally against, he is totally accepting the possibility that it may all be true. And that, my friend, could only happen through divine intervention.

Yes, it can be interesting but ultimately false that what he's telling you. It's obvious that despite him finding it "interesting" he doesn't actually agree with you.

one reason i thought that quote i mentioned earlier in the thread by Thomas Jefferson was interesting is because i was a poli/sci/international relations/international law major. adding on in a sec. thanks

i started out as a music major, and the story leading to that is interesting in itself, leave that aside, anyhow, in one of my general studies classes a prof played the class a video. a video about Sierra Leone. i could barely make it through the rest of the class. i left the class bawling. there is a girl(s) there that had her eyes burned out with burning logs and was raped with them too.

i'm leaving some stuff out. but i remember after that, i was emotionally distraught and my head was hot from the pain of it, and i drove around and around the city i was living in at the time because of it.

adding on in a sec. thanks

anyhow, politics was not who i 'really' was, but i kept trying to find the best way to do something about it. i decided to switch my major over to politics/international relations/international law.

i thought the only way was to be in there with the people of power, and gain power myself.

Apparently because the Amway sales-force kept libelling P&G as satanists to make their sales I guess. Pretty good move given the beliefs of the average American that they were selling to I reckon.
