Oprah is a holier than thou, sticky sweet, blowhard. She speaks one way and does exactly the opposite. She proclaims to be such an animal activist, yet she goes to expensive breeders to get her dogs and looks down on shelter dogs. She has been contacted thousands of times about the plight of puppy mill dogs, but, it's not a big enough money maker for her show to waste her time with the suffering of these poor animals.

As far as the school goes, $40 million school in Africa is ridiculous. How many more schools could she have built that are more than suitable in how many different areas, servicing how many more children....

Kudos to her for at least attempting to help, but, the lack of common sense is amazing. And unfortunately, she definitely comes across as, "HEY! Come look and me and see how much money I have and how many kids have a new school because of ME!"

Oh and Richard....You have become the Roger M of Pet Talk...I just told Mike that you and my friend Roger are probably a lot alike (other than the fact that he is an ultra liberal! lol). You know who you are and what you stand for and aren't afraid to say it (especially if it is important to you) and you make people mad because you are so straightforward!
