Rick, 

That is your opinion, more or less my opinion - though I think a woman
who is still breast feeding a chiold at age 5 is dangerously close to 
engaging in some emotionally destructive acts with her kid and doing it
in public is merely compounding the severity - but it is not an opinion
shared by everyone.  

I don't know where you live, but I see people on a daily basis who by their
dress tell me that their belief is that being uncovered in public is something
that is unacceptable.  Shall they be prevented from taking part in public 
life, in public places, or must they do so only after they've give their
personal and/or religious beliefs to satify anothers?

It has nothing to do with being a prude, it has to do with understanding
that not everyone shares the same view of what breasts are and whether or
not exposing them in public is appropriate. 

It's those here that suggest that everyone must accept their definition and
their view on the matter that are the most narrow of minds.  When my wife
was nursing our children she never thought twice about giving up a little 
convience in order not to be offensive to others who might not share our
view of what breasts are.  Why is it such a problem for others to do the
same now a days?  

You call it prudish, I call it being considerate of others - something no
one seems to be able to do these days.
