Inspired by the Lactivists???

This is an acutal letter to the Ask Amy advice columnist Amy Dickson of the Chicago Tribune.

Dear Amy: I agree that breast-feeding is a simple fact of life, and I am not offended by it when it is done publicly.

Urination is also a fact of life. Any idea why I got arrested when I did it in public?

-- Carl

Dear Carl: Actually, I think that public breast-feeding does offend you. Otherwise you wouldn't compare it to public urination.

If men could breast-feed their children it would not only be considered a completely acceptable way to provide nutrition for babies, but I'm sure it would probably be an Olympic sport by now. Public places would offer clean places to feed your babies quietly, so you wouldn't have to nurse in a bathroom stall, and people wouldn't be too bothered if they occasionally caught a glimpse of you feeding your baby in public.

It's something to think about.

Also we are proud to report that we are going to start a counter of people who run for their lives after hearing our conversations. So far since starting PWP, the Muggle-Ticker has ran off two people, including one who ran off as soon as he recognized who was sitting next to him. Much like an intentional walk in baseball, he didn't even want to mess with us.
