As I said previously, Bad programs beget more bad programs........I feel we need to come up with a different solution besides government. Government doesnt work! welfare enslaves folks to the system, keeps them beholden to it.......kills any sort of incentive to move on in life. Yes, woman working is not the issue.......WWII women were working in factories, their husbands at war, away from home, Latch-key kids, Yet, the problems we see in society were not a problem then. Our county's problems cannot be fixed simply by letting women stay home and breastfeeding....it is much deeper than this, unfortunatly. We will not solve this problem here on Lactnet. But, I feel those who are involved with children and families, at large, are capable of initiating change. Tis better to persuade then to coerce. Societies attitudes will not change by legislation or government mandates. Attitudes change a little at a time. Plant a seed, in your corner of the world, one by one, we have the responsiblity to share what we know with others. We can make a difference. Change never comes easy. I will continue to do my part here, as I am sure you all will there. Diane PS: Thanks Charlotte, I always feel like the lone ranger!!
