I am SOOOOOOO happy someone finally wrote this. Oprah makes my skin crawl every time I see that durn magazine with her on the cover telling America's women how they can be more like her.

That more people don't see through her fog of borrowed touchy-feely therapy and soul-free mysticism amazes me. How could anyone buy a December holiday magazine dedicated to the importance of family ties when the cover featured a single and childless woman posing with her dogs???

The magazine give me the creeps as well. Am I the only one who thinks it eerie and bizarre that a magazine cover would feature a photo of the same person (it's publisher) every single issue? That it's never occurred to the purchasers of this unholy "scripture" that that fact of itself could be a giant red flag for an ego the size of the former Soviet Union?

I don't like Oprah or her magazine but I am a single childless woman with pets (cats) and I have family ties. Not everyone has the advantage of marriage and children but it dosen't mean they do not have family and close friends that are adopted family. From your statement I get the feeling that anyone who does not fit your narrow view are somehow subhuman and have no idea as to the spirit of Christmas.
