this is a scary thought but i’ll throw it in the middle for the masses to kick around. who has more influence over the general population of America, George W. or Oprah W? anyway i’ve get to get to my sensitivity training class. ---

around **here**? Well, in General Questions, that would be **Chronus & manhattan**. Who I suspect will be along shortly to explain that your question, while being a question, would be more suited for the forum In My Humble Opinion, or perhaps (since there’s a political lean to it) Great Debates, or even possibly (since there’s an implied rant in there, too), the Pit. ---

I certainly does frighten me that there is a small part of the population that is more influenced by George W. Bush than by Oprah. ---

Well, I’m going to put this in IMHO for now, mainly because I have a hard time picturing Oprah in GD. **Czarcasm** and **TVeblen** may end up having to move it again, though, depending on where the thread goes. ---
