I'm with Richard on this one, as I believe that it's the silent achievers who make a difference to this world.
Oprah is for Oprah, she makes sure that she gets super media coverage for all of her so called charitable actions.
It's interesting that I had an epal a few years ago from Mexico, she told me a number of times how great Carlos Santana was to her countrymen, how he helps out with the poor and sinks money into schools, anything is not too hard for him when it comes to helping those most needy. I suppose tho that the problem is so great that one can't do everything, but still those silent achievers try their very best.
Oprah is a typical American, she just wants the rest of the world to know how great she is......and that my friends is from an Australian, who is not involved in the madness, and who can sit back and observe from a distance.
