In a country where we show the most disgusting and bloodiest movies to our young public, where we show people in war dying, dead and mutilated, where people are not upset at pictures of our flag being burned it's hard to believe that people are so upset by the natural act of a woman breastfeeding her child. On those rare occasions when I have observed women breastfeeding their babies in public I found I was neither excited nor disgusted. Something I find personally more disgusting than women breastfeeding is the verbal garbage that comes out of people's mouths today in public.

I am not a huge fan of the "well things are so bad anyway, we might as well lose any civility and decency" argument.
Indeed, the fact that the world has devolved into chaos gives me all the more reason to act with decency and respect.
That said, I don't care about public breast feeding, if done discretly and some decorum. (As in, use common courtesy and don't flop around any more than necessary.)
Hurrah!!!
