    aw, leave 'em alone... there's nothing new here.

    Soooo, your saying Oprah's self centered and perhaps a lil out of touch w/ normal people?

    And you're saying there's always lots of people looking for salvation, power, money, a more meaningful life? and that they'll pay anything, and jump on any thought train to get there?

    der.

    It's human nature... the powerful need to be full of themselves to have the hutzpa to lead people... and most people like to be lead, it's easier than thinking.

    Nothing new under the sun... this is just the 2007 version of this dynamic.
