Some of you know I helped create the first law in Utah that made it
legal for a woman to breastfeed anywhere she otherwise has a right to
be.  Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of this law, as shown by a
recent example:

http://www.sltrib.com/2003/nov/11122003/utah/110303.asp

We could take advantage of this employee's gauche error to do some
public education.

I can't help imagining if she had stood in front of any other patron
and loudly stated that the patron had to go eat in the bathroom because
another patron didn't want to have to look at him eating. The community
would immediately realize the problem was in the jaundiced eye of the
other patron, and the employee, and find that unacceptable.

How people get a sense of entitlement that their eating is more lovely
than a baby's eating and more worthy to be shown at Burger King, I
don't know.
