>That surprises me. I really didn't think you didn't trust your son's judgment? I see no other reason for opt out paperwork to be completed. Afterall, recruiters only present the options to kids, they cannot draft anyone. They cannot force anyone to do anything.

Amway completey agrees with you... and now wishes also to have access to Tamar's son, and should have the power to withhold his other publicly funded 'options' (brought to you by NCLB) unless he hears them out. What could that hurt? I mean, it's just *more* options, isn't it? Sound so easy, so reasonable!

Why stop there when there are so many exciting 'options'? ;-)
