If I were to do anything far out of the ordinary in a given setting, it would be an imposition I can understand that. OTOH, when breast feeding in public becomes so commonplace that it's no longer out of the ordinary, it will no longer be an imposition. For example, it's no longer an "imposition" to wear blue jeans when eating out. Or to show up late. I'm sensitive to impositions on the public. I've complained enough about the wearing of perfume in public because I'm allergic to it. Now there's an imposition. Yet it's commonplace. It's an imposition because it causes harm. It's hard for me to get too exercised about an alleged imposition that is an imposition simply by being uncommon. If we all go out and do it, then it won't be uncommon so it won't be an imposition any more. Karen
