Mortgaging My Soul, Once Again

I was on the internet earlier this morning, as I normally am, checking our insurance companies websites for different stuff and reading the news real quick, when I came across this article:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061117/ap_on_re_us/breast_feeding_passenger

So, go ahead and read it, and then come back to me.

So, after I got done reading it, one thought came into my mind:

Why didn't you cover it up?

I mean, most everyone gets it that breast milk is best.  That's freaking fantastic.  However, not everyone has to experience the joys along with you.

Some people don't like to see bare breasts in public.  Hell, I don't want to see bare breasts on TV or in real life.  So, why should I be forced to look at it when it's being done in public to feed a child?  It's not like the woman was saying, "You can't do that here, period!"  She offered the lady a blanket and asked to cover up.  It's not that huge of an issue.  Not everyone wants to see your titties.  And, really, most people that *DO* breastfeed, when they know they're going out in public, either pump beforehand or find a private place (like a washroom or something) to do it at.  And, apparently, since you're on an airplane, you had some notice that you were going out of the house.  So, it's official, you're retarded.  Legally.  Put a stamp on your head and send you to crazy camp.

I also found the picture on the left hand side of the "nurse-in" funny with that lady's sign "Don't be a pervert!  Nursing is legal and necessary."  Well, there are a couple of things wrong with your sign, lady.

1)  Nursing is not necessary.  Back in the days before technology and what not, yes it was.  But, I can tell you personally that, no, it's not necessary.  I wasn't breast fed because I wouldn't take to my momma's nipple.  In fact, if there wouldn't have been such a thing as a baby bottle, I would have died.  My mom had to slit open the nipple of the baby bottle and, literally, pour it down my throat and force me to eat.  Strangely, I don't have that type of problem now...

2)  It is legal and it should be!  It's a natural thing.  However, sex is very natural along with body hair on women.  And, being a civilized society, we have to have a balance between what is natural and what is civilized.  And, I don't see you sucking off the baby's daddy (if you know who it is) while letting your armpit/leg/nipple hair grow out while you're protesting.  What your saying makes no logical sense.   If you wanna breast feed, you should do you best to cover yourself up because, again, I don't wanna see boobies.

3)  And this is the biggest one which is hysterical.  "Don't Be a Pervert."  And, my only comment on this is this:  "If you don't want us to look at it, then don't do it!"  It's like, if I whip my penis out for all the world to see (FYI, $5 sent to me and I'll send ya' a couple pics...I'm not bashful...) and then call everyone that looks at it a pervert...well, then I'm pretty fucking stupid, aren't I?

Like I said before, if you're going out on the town and bringing the wee one along, pump prior or throw a blanket over yourself.  Because, strangely, not everyone wants to see your hairy nipples.

But, seriously, $5 and the pictures are yours....
