Alicia, you took the words right out of my mouth! Breastfeeding does not
require a pump. Even cows can be milked by hand -- what a concept! Getting
exercise does not require a stair-step machine. Removing leaves from a
side-walk does not require a noisy, gas-guzzling, air-polluting leaf blower.
Americans are enamored of technology for technology's sake. So sad.....
