Considering the subject, interesting review. I can see how the book could get a bit tiresome. The main thing is that it gives fair warning to all the otherwise wise people who fall into the trap. I think the schemes really take off about once a generation. A whole new set of lambs to slaughter.
Thanks for the info.

I just read an interesting article in Reader's Digest about "gifting circles". Targeted toward women, they are the exact same thing as the "Airplane Game"-- and highly illegal! Hard to believe how people get involved in this stuff!

I have a friend who is involved with Primerica. He's a smart guy, but he really has fallen for the whole thing, hook, line and sinker.

Great review!
