They had so much in common. Yeah, yeah, i get it, she'd of been a bit young for him - like half his age. A lady had advised me, years ago, that going with/marrying an older man is fine, but when the age difference exceeds 15 years, the couple come from different generations, and likely will experience communication issues.
But Hugh and Oprah would have been the exception to that rule.
You see, they each are evangelical...that is, in a most, a basic unGodly sense. Both have expressed on-going and big-time disdain toward the Patriarchal family ... ya know, the one where there's actually children, (who get off the school-bus, and mommy is there for them - not in some stupid-ars'd job she can barely stand). The one where dad is actually around, to show junior how to build and fix things. The one where mom jumps into a decent dress around 4pm, because her husband is coming home, and she wants to look nice for him (talk to Doris, the wife of a delivery truck driver - oh wait, they'd be in their late 90s by now).
Anyway, kids aren't stupid, while their little brains cannot articulate, they pick up on whether or not they're parents love them / each other...which is probably why, there's so much hate being expressed by men towards women, and vice-versa. And NO! Hate is not too strong of a word.
Oh to think, if Hugh and Oprah would have tied the knot 40 years ago - why our society would have years ago regressed beyond mere clown-colored hair-do(do)s and after-school satan clubs. Why their (in)fame, as a couple would have, perhaps, been on par with Ahab and Jezebel.
