Nanny State Ping-worthy? Make a law for NO reason; but they're not promoting any sort of agenda. Sure. *Rolleyes*

(And guess what? Legislation will be introduced soon for a state-wide Smoking Ban in Wisconsin. Stay tuned!)

Nanny State Ping.'

The proposed ordinance prohibits anyone from interfering with a woman nursing an infant or pumping breast milk in a public place under county jurisdiction, such as the airport, the zoo or any stores or restaurants in unincorporated areas.

When are these people going to get it through their thick skulls? Stores and restaurants are NOT public places. They are private businesses which INVITE members of the public to enter.

I'm not sure which is more of a Nanny-state: (1) One in which women can breast-feed in public without being told to take it somewhere else; or (2) One in which anyone spotting a woman breast-feeding in public has the authority to go up to her and berate her, call her names, order her to go somewhere out of sight, or threaten her with charges of "public nudity".
