Great Quote

I've been cross posting this everywhere, but it's so worth it...

"The truth is, you and I are the stuff that great leaders are made of. We don't have to wait for a distinguished man on a horse or a politician wealthy enough to win office in a multimillion dollar campaign to usher in justice and equality. The ranks of rebellions and revolutions that have shaped human history have been made up of people like you and me. (…) The people who make a difference are those who fight for freedom – not because they're guaranteed to succeed – but because it's the right thing to do. And that's the kind of fighters that history demands today. Not those who worship the accomplished fact. Not those who can only believe in what is visible today. But instead, people of conscience who dedicate their lives to what needs to be won and what can be won." -Leslie Feinberg

Oprah Falls off the Wagon

This article may be of interest to some of you. Oprah discusses her recent weight gain. I'm fascinated by some of the comments that readers left under the article. So basically, I'm wondering what you think of Oprah going public about this issue (again). Oprah's weight battle has been making headlines for years. If you're an Oprah fan (or even if you're not) I'd love to hear your thoughts/reactions to this article.

- How do you feel about Oprah saying she is "ashamed of herself"? Do you think this sends a message to women about their own weight?

- Is Oprah's choice to make her weight issues such a public battle part of her being a product of our media/society? Does this make her more or less appealing to you?
