I do get your point Richard, that much money could have built enough schools for thousands of kids over there and that would have served a better purpose.

I did a rough math calculation.

For 126 dollars a year..

317,000 children taught

or

26,500

kids given a 1-12 grade education.

-----------------

Winfrey gave a telling statement about the kids here in the U.S.

She said that when she asked the kids about what they needed for school it was Nikes, ipods and crap that doesn't involve education..


So instead if starting the charity at home scenario, she has to go abroad.


So let's do the math....again.

One million, per U.S. school is a lot of books and teachers.

I guess school district wouldn't let her name 40 schools after her.

I sure hope that lady with the cameras and cell phone comes back to our town! Look at how much better OUR school is compared to the rest of the country.

On the next Oprah,

Gazilliuonaires who's every donation is a docudrama, four part T.V. special and fodder for their own T.V. show.

There are three kinds of people on the planet.

The first two mentioned and the third, who are like sand in the bathing suit.

ADVICE?

Drop trou and rinse.
