From Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction to the natural and beautiful act of breastfeeding, the female breast is as much of a threat to America as Osama bin Laden.
It's a scary thing, the booby, more scary to many Americans than an atomic bomb.
The editors of Baby Talk, a publication that is circulated in obstetrician's offices for new mothers have joined the ranks of Al Qaeda, Satan and gay marriage advocates as the newest threat to all that is good and sacred in the land of the red, white and stupid.
A beautiful and very sweet cover photo of a mother feeding her baby has outraged millions of Americans.
Frankly, it fills with me despair. How can we have any hope of a better nation, with equal rights for all, a nation of compassion and creative energy when a visual of a mother breastfeeding her baby distributed exclusively in doctors' office creates controversy?
What is with our fellow Americans? Where and when and how did so much go wrong with so many?
"good and scared" ... I think you mean "good and sacred."
Great site; great comments!

Although the initial TV news story claims "some people" are upset about the mag. cover, not only are we never told who those people are (Was it a study? Did the reporter hear this on the bus this morning? Was this "news" really an ad for Baby Talk made to look like a news story?), the reporter was hard-pressed to find even one "old-woman-on-the-street" who vaguely had a problem with the cover.

Outrage indeed! Where are the veins stretch marks?
