Dear Amy: I consider breast-feeding in public something totally unnecessary  
and offensive. There are always places this can be done in private. The women  
who do this are subjecting everyone around them to a private event.

But  then, our entire society seems to have lost any semblance of manners and 
polite  behavior. Manners, along with saluting the flag, seem to have  
disappeared.

-- Elaine in Colorado
 
Dear Elaine: I think that a breast-feeding mother is as American as the  
stars and stripes and mom's apple pie. I doubt that you or I would be here as  
proud Americans if our mothers or grandmothers weren't willing to feed us --  
even in public.
