I was not raised in the US....and must say.....after all the years I've lived
here.....I'm still astounded that a nursing mother in public is gawked
at......but a 3 or 4 yr. old is seen often walking around with a pacifier or
bottle and no one seems to see THAT as a problem.  So....I don't mind your
soapbox Deborah!  :)
