So, can I be so bold as to suggest to those who do respond please do so  as
if you would like to be the Scham's friend or at least an  aquaintance.>>>>>>
 
Ruth, 
 
You truly are a diplomat, and your temperance and  tolerance is admirable, 
and you make a compelling argument on  a knowledgeable soapbox, ....but, in this 
case, is diplomacy the best  strategy? ...in this case, I would not want to 
befriend him, ...but if you  can, and therefore significantly influence his 
opinions and  attitudes, you will deserve an award. I often have that kind of  
patience, just not this week.
 
Here's a copy of my letter to Schram, which may be  deemed blunt or downright 
harsh, .... nevertheless, I cc'd this letter to  the station admin also, 
.....I just don't want him to think he can get away  with such nonsense 
unchallenged:
 
   
<<<Dear Mr. Schram, 
 
How embarrassing for you and the people who associate with you, that you  
would broadcast such ignorance and antiquated attitudes on KOMO 4  News. I hope 
your superiors are more knowledgeable, educated, and bright, and  offer you 
your seemingly overdue retirement package, or just plain tell you  "You're Fired!"
 
You said: <<Yeah, I know. .......It's natural. .........Well, so is  
urinating, but most folks don't up and pee in a glass jar in the middle of the  
mall.>>  
Another newsperson on KOMO 4 News put it *so well* "What an Idiot!"  
It is a shame to have to explain this, but, urinating is for restrooms,  in 
some parts of the world anyway, ....eating is for wherever people eat,  ...and 
babies are people, and breast are primarily for producing milk for  human 
babies.  
Breastfeeding in public is not the problem, you are. 
Ashamed of you,
