The trick as always Ken, is to ignore the spin being put on the bill and
actually read it to see what it says.  You may still not like what is being
addressed, but the reality is that it does NOT criminalize in anyway the
act of breast feeding in public.  I specifically address the activities of
certain people who go out of their way to demonstrate breast feeding in
public, whether or not the other people seeing the demonstration want to see
it or not.

Like the woman I saw in Schenely Park a few weeks ago, there is a segment
of the earth first, radical vegetarian movements, who use feeding their 
children as an excuse to try and force their views and behaviors on others.

You know, I know and many other parents who've breast fed children know that
there is no need to publicly flaunt the act and demonstrate their technique
to those who have no interest in seeing it and that's all the bill addresses.
