Heidi, you've hit the nail on the head. It's entirely possible to work for a MLM or other company, and like their products, and not be a brainwashed loser scumbag.
I loved MK until I found out they fund foreskin testing; and when I was still using their products, my MK lady could be a bit pushy, but NOTHING near the same level as the Mela reps. Also, I've never met a MK rep, or Avon, Tupperware, etc, who used scare tactics to get you to buy; or who think that their companies are GOD.
Acutally, I went to my local Arbonne rep today, met her for the first time ever; and she was the opposite of pushy, she was so cool! I just wanted samples to try the stuff out, and she made me little sample size jars of everything
She never once said that other make-up companies were dangerous and evil.
Personally, I like alot of products that come from MLM companies (I loved MK, I like some Avon, some Tastefully Simple, Usborne books, and now maybe Arbonne). And in all my product buying, I've never encounterd a company and reps as disgusting as Mela.
