IF we are going to pass laws to stop rude behavior there are far far more worthy targets than a breastfeeding mom. Strange strange society we live in. Of course I thought the interference of the state was a bad thing- but maybe we should only let the state run amok in our personal lives? And we should be free to be run amok with our money? Perhaps that is the lesson: legislate morality, but leave a man's (probably not a woman's) pocketbook alone. Me, I think I'd rather have an empty pocket book and my own choices as to morality, but that's me.

First, I am telling the truth, I referred only to restaurants. Second, although I was not "kidding", since I was actually testing an idea, regulating the matter was not something I was wedded to. I spoke more positively than I felt because I wanted to air the issue thoroughly. As it stands, I am not sure what I think about ensuring the law is on the restaurant's side if it chooses to refuse service. Sorry if raising an issue of consideration for others rains on your PC parade......
