In Wednesday's Philadelphia Inquirer (newspaper), Ask Amy (the Dear Abby 
replacement) ended with the following message and response. I invite all of 
you to flood her with your comments, so some of the best will be printed in 
newspapers across the US!

================

Dear Amy: I ws glad to see someone else write to you mentioning how 
inappropriate it is for woemen to breastfeed in public.

Women use the excuse that it is "natural," but many bodily functions are 
natural and we don't care to watch people doing these other "natural" 
things.

Women also now seem to have the attitude that pregnancy should be 
"celebrated" with tight clothes and bare bellies. The Hollywood crowd is 
most at fault. Sorry, mothers-to-be, but I think you look tacky.

--Bugged in Boston

Dear Bugged: I wonder what it is about the sight of breast-feeding or 
pregnant women that makes some people so uncomfortable. Women have babies. 
Then they feed said babies. I really don't understand what it is about that 
simple fact of life that is so offensive.
