Wal-Mart right to say no

By Linda Magloughlin


------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

I would like to say a big thank you to Wal-Mart for asking a mother to
stop breast-feeding in public. I am a breast-feeding mother and would
never think of doing such a thing. The typical response of those who
feel this should be allowed is, "It's perfectly natural!" Indeed, but
so are defecating and intercourse, and how many of us would expect to
do such things in public without being arrested? How many of us would
want to watch others doing such things?
The sad thing is that Wal-Mart felt pressured to apologize to the
woman, stating that they were sorry for her being inconvenienced. Is it
an unacceptable inconvenience to have to find a restroom rather than
urinate in public? While some would say yes, I believe and hope that
most of us would say no. Again, thank you, Wal-Mart. I hope the attempt
to make public breast-feeding legal fails dismally.

What's next, public masturbation?
