Thanks Sally. To be honest, it was a general statement directed at whomever the shoe fits. That said, I know some of you well enough (via the board here) to realize you were specifically criticizing only one small aspect of Oprah's 'giving', as opposed to criticizing her approach to giving (or the amount of it) overall and in general.

That's unfortunate. I do see it, and it restores my faith in humanity. You'll find greedy miserly types in every income bracket ...you'll find selfless humanitarians in every income bracket, too.

It's really too bad that people only measure wealth in terms of dollars. I feel very wealthy......but I'm far from rich (in the $$ sense of it).
