Once again, this list has strayed from the topic.  Our purpose here is
to share information not to make anyone feel guilty.  The fact of the
matter is even though women have been breastfeeding since the beginning
of time and it is perfectly natural this issue would not have been
raised 20 years ago.  Some women breastfeed, some don't.  The issue
remains how do we as museum professionals handle such situations.
First, we must obey whatever the laws are in our state.  Second, we are
there to serve our visitors.  This is a need, how do we service it?

As for the swinsuit, thong, breasts or other body parts in public
discussion--some people will make fashion choices or lifestyle choices
which may not be our own.  If you don't like it, that is your choice.
Unfortunately, none of us can dictate anyone elses!

Let us be helpful and informative!  Trust me--I spent most of my life
in NJ, I know the bisuals!
