I question the terms used by Linda Smith and Kathleen Bruce to describe my 
position on human milk banking--attacks, innuendos, complain and villanize.  
Attacks? What words and sentences are villanizing?  Innuendo is indirect and 
malicious.  How am I indirect and malicious?   I find it hard, very hard to 
understand these words as related to me.  I am sorry that you feel that way about my 
posts.  I do think you misinterpret my intent.

I absolutely agree that there should be more human milk banks.  One in every 
hospital would be what I would like to see.  But not until human milk 
component patenting has some rules, some restrictions.  Mothers should, if they wish, 
be able to direct that their milk only be used for infants and adults in need.

Kathleen writes that, "Boycotts, like nurse ins, are negative energy events." 
 Does that viewpoint extend to the Nestle boycott?    Life has both negative 
and positive.  Without the negative,  we  would not know or understand the 
positive.    Some people consider boycotts positive events; because a boycott can 
create the change the community wants, when leaders fail to respond to the 
needs of the community.

Intellectual freedom in the sciences, in institutions, and in organizations 
is based on critique.   Belief without critique, without all the facts, is 
fantasy.
