Ginger. Who died and made you the ALL KNOWING? Aren't you the Oprah of this site?
Anonymous:
I think that Antigen/Eudora/Ginger is spectacularly jealous of Oprah.
In Antigen (etc's mind) it's like "Oh I'm just as smart, insightful as Oprah, I have this board, I have these people who for whatever reason are allied with me. So why do the vast majority of people in this country know who Oprah is, and the vast majority of people don't know a thing about me?"
Not to mention that "Anti/Eu/Gin" seems to be constantly posting what she thinks she knows about books: face it, she really thinks that she could be a much better Oprah than Oprah.
The problem is that nobody outside of this cyber-den appears to agree.
But she'll hit a maximum no. of posts anytime soon. Maybe within this little tiny crevice of the world it's going to salve her wounded ego.
And we won't have to hear her saying bitchy things about people like Oprah who have done better than she has.

I'm glad you said that anon. I've always been real conflicted about this site. Some of the things said resonate.
Other times it's about the participant's ego, sense of inferiority in the world.
The moderator included.

Oprah's a lot of archetype of the culture: trying to be real feeling while being shwerd and self-serving.
So what is Antigen et al?
Antigen:
I think if Oprah wants to put her money where her mouth is w/ that apology for getting punked, she could do worse than to read Maia Szalavitz book, Help At Any Cost and consider recomending it to her audience.
She won't, though. I don't think she'd understand it even if she did read it. And her audience certainly wouldn't.
The public schools are...designed around the assumption that all of the participants are irresponsible and incompetent...The result is the creation of an organization which is incapable of change. Every member of the organization is concerned with keeping his superior happy.
