To clarify, I certainly did not mean to offend anyone with my statement.  I 
was just trying to make a point, in that forum.  I'm sure that the 
unfortunate young women who must loose one or both of their breasts also 
mourn the fact that they will not be able to breast-feed their infants (in 
the case of both being taken).  I was just pointing out that breasts are a 
part of being women, and while they were created to provide nourishment, it 
is silly to argue that that is the only "value" that should be placed on 
them.  On issues like public breast-feeding, we have to deal with society 
where they're at, not the ideal.  I apologize to anyone who may have been 
hurt by that particular statement.  I cannot begin to imagine what those 
women must go through!

they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall." Gandhi
