In Texas they said a woman couldn't breastfeed at Target even though the law said they could. So women protested Wednesday by having "nurse-ins" at 250 of Target stores.

Breastfeeding is natural and not something that has to be hidden. Before people invented baby bottles every human being breastfed.

Some people make breasts sex objects. Who decided women's chests are sexy and not men's? Not me! If you believe in God would he make something a sex object that he wanted babies to suck on?

I believe in God and Goddess and the human body is a beautiful thing. We should not force people to hide it.

All too often bad systems cause good people to do bad things—or stop them from doing good things.

In South Fulton, Tennessee, firefighters stood and watched as a family's home burned to the ground.  Why didn't they fight it?  Because the family hadn't paid a $75 protection fee.

If you have a system where people have to pay to get fire fighters to save their home, then you can't give it out for free, can you?  Of course renters could lose their possessions because their landlord didn't pay, and people struggling to buy food who can't afford the extra money may be out of luck--and a home.  And a fire could spread from an unprotected home to a protected one.

So why make such a system to begin with? Should we have to pay a fee specifically for the police or they won't investigate if we're assaulted, robbed, or raped?  And if we don't pay does that mean we can't get arrested?

In much of America, essential services have been paid out of taxes.  That's what tax money is for.  Protection money is for gangsters.
