I did not get to see that show, as my kids were chanting in my ear
(birthday money burning holes in their pockets) and apparently I did not
program the VCR correctly. But I agree with the one post, that we need
to contact Oprah (www.oprah.com) and encourage her to do a show on LLL's
founding mothers, LLL, breastfeeding and/or lactation consultants. With
her interest in mothering/parenting, children and people who turn their
passions (today's show) into a career (I hated the profit angle) - these
are topics well worth encouraging her to do.

Certainly few of the other American talk shows are going to venture into
the area. Oprah has not fallen to the level of the others (IMHO, either
pure fluff or trash tv) and she just might do it.

And there is no denying, no matter how you personally feel about LLL,
those seven women certainly did something extremely powerful and
socially/culturally changing.
