Oprah's big give away
Alright, I know it’s been a week since Oprah gave away a car to each person in her audience, but I still have an opinion on the matter. Although it was discussed that each person deserved a car, I feel as though the money put into this much anticipated surprise could have been spent on a more worthy cause. Also, I do realize that having a car is a necessity to many people and it provides them with transportation, but large amounts of people are still living in poverty and are not able to sustain comfortable living standards. By no means am I saying that Oprah is a bad person, in fact I think she is a very generous individual and I know she has recently opened a school for children in Africa. The real issue is, did all these lucky audience members truly need, not want, but need a car and a nice one at that? I don't know the answer to this question, but in my mind it just seems a little ridiculous.
