Let me use this opportunity to get this off my chest.
The Oprah Winfrey stage is filled most days with millionaires and
billionaires who have little in common with the vast
majority of Americans. When the show is not about millionaires and
billionaires it is about that one out of hundreds of individuals who
rose above adversity to some tear jerking success.
This of course is the plan and the purpose of the show. Upbeat
celebrity fantasy. But it skewers the view of an audience of millions making millionaires, billionaires and tear jerking success the norm rather the rarity it is. In reality it is "quiet desperation" that owns humanity. The show is a
look down upon the vast majority of those who DO NOT beat addiction,
prison, poverty, loneliness, pain or have a best seller.
Hold it! I apologize to Ms Winfrey. One thing she does hold in
commonality with the least of us, it’s okay to celebrate being fat!
I appreciate that, thank you Oprah for at least making me feel good about myself
in one facet of my life. It’s the butter and sitting in front of this computer to blame you know…
