The thread title is a take off on a David Letterman joke. But I love Letterman's take on these two.
But beyond all the silliness:
I'm interested to learn the board views of these two icons of the new American Moral Standard.
Do either of these individuals (given the media power they wield) have the right to dispense the "common good"?
It's my considered opinion that they have too much influence on an ever-willing audience of people hungering to have their social and moral standards dictated by a couple of people whose credentials are, shall we say, less than credible to the positions they hold and the audience they reach.
How many people know who the late Joseph Campbell is by comparison?
How many people know who Oprah and Dr. Phil are??
Curious phenomenon that.
I have nightly telephone conversations with my two best friends. Recently in both instances when they've said "Dr. Phil said" or "I heard Oprah say..." I've had to say "I don't want to know!" I don't either!
What the fuck is going on here? :33:
