32. TheGoldenRule...
Oprah may have done a lot for people -- especially people of color & children -- but she has some issues of her own and ideas that are pretty far out there.

A few years ago I got and read the Celestine Prophecy based on her recommendation, and the fact that she was so certain this was something that was going to happen on earth to earth and all the people on earth -- a bold new vision of the future.

She pitched it as if entirely plausible... and I think I was less than one chapter in before I started wondering if she'd lost her mind.

It a beautiful fairy tale... but with no way of ever being a reality.

By the time she got to pitching "The Secret," late last year or earlier this year, I realized she wasn't living in the real world -- and really, I guess, she has so much money she doesn't have to.

I don't want her castles in the air, I don't want her space-cadet ideas and I sure as shootin' don't want her Presidential candidate!

Anyway, you have a fellow sufferer here who agrees with you wholeheartedly.
