Sincere Gratitude

Oprah has announced the end of her talk show in September of 2011. Did you notice the symbolism of the date? This is meant to feel as a new 9/11. Impressive, most impressive! But you are not a Jedi yet! Anyway, better late than never.

I am very thankful that this uneducated woman who mistakenly concluded that because she became rich she also somehow became smart, is finally resigning. Lately, she became quite dangerous. With her endorsements of dubious alternative medicine methods and with her army of faithful followers, this woman was responsible for the death of several people. Remember her endorsing a plastic surgeon with as many as 11 malpractice suits against him? He killed another patient who decided to trust him with a liposuction surgery after taking Oprah's word for his "qualifications". What about her promotion for a guru who had two people die recently in his sweat lodge? We also have a close friend who went through a lot of stress when a miraculous "comprehensive" blood test advocated by Oprah had mistakenly found her to have pancreatic cancer (the diagnosis which has since been disproved through a lot of expensive testing, and through the course of time).

They say that wisdom comes with age. Oprah is a sad case when the age came alone. In two years she won't be dispensing her unqualified advice any more. Amen!
