are so many places our energy is needed and our power should be focused
where real changes can be made. Is a statement by Barbara Walters really
that important?

I wonder what the nurse-in did for the View's ratings?  How many Nielson
points did they gain when folks got curious and tuned in?  How happy is ABC
with the increased ratings and what will they say to the View ladies about
it?

What about writing to the show's sponsors to tell them how offensive the
remarks were?  Carbon copy to ABC's advertising department.  In any
corporation money is the bottome line.  If the sponsors think they will
lose sales and ABC thinks they will lose advertising dollars, something
will be done about it.
