I can still remember being a young boy after the second world war when life was vastly different from what it is now. There are some things better about life now than then, however, there are also many things much worse. I miss the simple, authentic, real life experience of those times: kind, trustworthy and loyal friends, eating and drinking more healthy food, cleaner air, little road traffic, no noise polution, virtually no danger from crime and no exposure to the filth and degradation we see daily on TV and in the movies. On ballance, even though, as a writer, I enjoy the glories of word processing on my computer, the wonders of the Internet, Christian contemporary music and the rare great TV program and movie (Lord of the Rings), I believe most of us were genuinely happier during those innocent, largely pre-technological times so very long ago. ]]>Feb 8th 2008 3:50PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/Jun 24th 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/]]>Jan 26th 2009 7:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/Apr 23rd 2007 2:30PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/Apr 23rd 2007 2:30PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/Apr 23rd 2007 2:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/Apr 23rd 2007 2:53PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/
They, per usual, ignore anything that doesn't have a DOLLAR MARK ATTACHED TO IT.

Sorry to those who have been scammed, I did my best, took a lot of time and effort to get their attention, while knowing the probability was 1Million:1.....

Sorry for those of you who got hurt, remember there celebrities don't really care. I only took the time from my busy day, to see if something would be done, perhaps the email read and taken seriously (as it should have been). But, it wasn't. Sometimes "we" just can't win.

Keep all eyes open, as there are too many scam artists out there, and MEGA MILLIONAIRES/BILLIONAIRES who don't care if you lose $100.00 or $10,000.00

The email scams that really annoy me are the ones that have an address so similar to someone in my address book and always have re: in the subject line. Now I have to take time to make sure it is from a friend or a legitimate company I do business with before I either click spam or open it. ANNOYING!]]>Apr 23rd 2007 4:04PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/Apr 23rd 2007 3:55PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/16/beware-of-the-oprah-email-scam/THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY SCAMMERS OUT THERE!!

#2 Never open or read unsolicited or em's from unfamiliar sources
#3 Is not lady O a scam artist herself. Oh I know she's Mz. perfect, and has answers to solve everyones problems. Remember well her wearing huge bling in the face of those less fortunate..Also I remember her 'giving away cars' to an audience only to be forced into admitting the give away was the auto manufacturer's promotional idea..O was merely the ideal for gaining wide commercial publicity.
#4 O is and remains an extremely savvy BUSINESS WOMEN. She has my respect for building he mega corporation and lasting this long. Having worked in the industry I well know the difference between the public personality and the private.
#5 For those who suspect I might be jealous,,,wrong, good for her, she's succeeded where others have not--bravo-she brings a great deal of joy into many folks lives.. She's just no longer my cup of chocolate...
#6 As a successful retiree with every comfort imaginable, and enough accumulated I believe the only place to put my bucks in helping others is in education---Nice Mz. O was thoughtful enough to provide for the young ladies in Africa...How much is she doing for US kids??? Probably plenty but we never seem to hear about that side--(?)
