Another mother, Kelly Wheatley, wrote Babytalk to applaud
the cover, precisely because, she says, it helps educate
people that breasts are more than sex objects. And yet
Wheatley, 40, who's still nursing her 3-year-old daughter,
rarely breast-feeds in public, partly because it's more
comfortable in the car, and partly because her husband is
uncomfortable with other men seeing her breast.


hypocrites!

hiding in cars, disgusting public restrooms or in the dark
shadows of stairwells in malls to feed an infant is ridiculous!

You have a knack for combining and simplifying and thereby defining to the perfect core every issue I've ever seen you post about ... and the humor is a hugh plus, I'm series, Laz. ... A degenerating society doesn't like getting mixed messages or being reminded of how far from sane it has devolved.

AOL is typically stirring the pot with their back alley articles.

The company is sick and their "news" is more so.

Consider the source of this article and it in the trash where it belongs.

Thank you for your kind words.

I try -- by reducing to absurdity -- to show the absurdity of present-day life.

If I can accomplish it in a single sentence, so much the better.

Besides, chicks dig it.

It's a crazy world when people get upset over
a travel mags depiction of Le Grand Tetons on the cover.

I wonder why the bulk of complainers about breast-feeding in public tend to be other women?

It's an AP article.... AOL picked it up... I could have probably found it from other sources, but this was the one I saw posted on another site.

Now... I can see room for disagreement about the story... but "sick"?

So what's wrong with that? I'm past 40 and I try to nurse whenever I can!

I dunno,why do so many people object to the sight of two people in the act of creating a new life?

After all, it is a beautiful thing.

Ahemm.....well, joking aside most guys I know see this as kind of a non-issue. {And if it gets the kid to shut up---good going}.

I've really only heard women get riled up on the topic, one side or the other.

AOl use AP exclusively - and most of the articles are anti-American, anti-Conservative and they bring up the most disgusting news on their opening page.

I am a member and I get sick from seeing what they "select" for their members' choices.

I cannot understand why a successful American company farms all its labor out to international countries and then sits back raking in the American money while they post hate for their nation.

Yes "sick" is a good descriptive.
