Analogizing breast-feeding in public to eating dogs, urinating in public, sexual intercourse in public, etc., and calling it an instance of loosening standards isn't "tactful", my man. There are some, and I am one, who would call it "belligerent."

<<<The difference between telling some to lump it, and desisting from offending is that in one instance, it would impose far too great a burden on the "offending parties", and in the other, only a small degree of discretion is required to satisfy all....>>> You aren't the one with a hungry baby, a lot of places you have to be and things you have to do, who is being told to find a place to hide or use a breast pump and of course follow sterilization protocols. It is not a small thing, Neocon. The inconvenience and unpleasantness your proposal entails, would, I am certain, shorten the nursing period for many babies. Nursing a baby is a happy experience, a pleasure, and magnificently convenient. Your proposal is the opposite. IMIO. Using a shawl or blanket for discretion is a small thing, and is almost universally done, I am sure you will agree.
