Being asked to "cover up" is just as illegal in BC. I quote the following from Sexual Discrimination and Harassment (.pdf file) on the website of the Attorney General:"Nursing mothers have the right to breastfeed their children in a public area, and it is discriminatory to ask them to cover up or breastfeed somewhere else."

Children have a right to be fed mother's milk. Anyone who interferes should pay the penalty for such stupidity.

Seriously. What century is this...did we suddenly and collectively warp back to the 1700's?

Reminds me of that old George Carlin routine in the early 1970's about public morals, which referred to banning kids from watching a film of two people making love but "hey it's ok!" allowing them to view a piece on two people trying to kill one another. Why is that allowed? What message is being sent in that case? Healthy sexual relations (or breasts) are BAD but killing is alright? Hm.

Who said healthy sexual relations were bad?
Breast feeding has nothing to do with sex.

My apologies. The words just jumped off the page and I missed the George Carlin reference. Sorry.

True. It reminds me of an error that movie theatres did a few years back. A WWE feature was inadvertently crossed with the feed of a soft-core **rn film feed for about 30 or 60 seconds. Parents complained. Really, guys crashing each other over the heads with chairs was deemed OK, but the **rn was bad.

No problemo - George is always good for providing good metaphors and analogies for most aspects of life, especially his early material; and Seberry I think you and I think alike, lol.

Why are some people offended by the sight of a baby at a mothers breast, not not so offended at the sight of only the breast?

I'm not not sure I know how to not not answer that.

BUT... See the article "Body Pleasure and the Origins of Violence", available online at http://www.violence....in/article.html - jaw dropping percentages, and conclusions.

The original article (in 1975) outlined a method of prediction for violence/non-violence within a culture with ~98% accuracy, later someone realized that the "raw data" that Prescott had drawn from was inaccurate. Once corrected data was substituted, it became 100% predictive.
