In response to Anette Taylor's comment about Oprah:
"Oprah is not exactly the queen of critical thinkers. I tell my students this
repeatedly and often. What is MOST scary is the influence she has in this
country."
my favorite cross-cultural dude, Michael S. replied
"Be nice!"
I think that Annette was very kind and nice. Oprah had been badly burned not
too long ago, and she failed to perform due diligence in a very similar
situation. The problem is that many people believe that what Oprah says is
true and real, and the evidence suggests otherwise. I'm just sayin'.

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and
our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and
the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.
- Barack Obama
We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one which we preach, but
do not practice, and another which we practice, but seldom preach. -Bertrand
Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate (1872-1970)
The race of men, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity. -Carl Van
Doren, professor, writer, and critic (1885-1950)
