I don't know, maybe it's me... perhaps I live in a bubble of naivity-or maybe, just maybe there are some really uptight people out there.  WHO is threatened by a Dunkin Donuts ad, even worse, THE SCARF that a known celeb wears in the ad?!  I would love to meet the people who have nothing better to do with their time than fight for an ad to be dropped simply because the spokesperson is wearing a paisley printed scarf which in their opinion resembles that of a terrorist.  Rachel is like 5'2", guilty of nothing more than poor fashion sense.  Assuming that anyone who wears a keffiyeh is a terrorist is like assuming anyone who wears a jersey is an athlete ( weak comparison, but you get the point).  We as Americans need to seperate ligitimate security threats from blatant discrimination.

As a breastfeeding mom myself, it's difficult to get out and do things in public.  Being able to breastfeed would make things a lot less stressful on not only myself and my daughter, but also the people around us whom I'm sure don't want to deal with a screaming infant.  I know it's a touchy subject, and hard to witness something so intimate, but at the same time, I'm fed up with having to take my young daughter into smelly public restrooms, or rush out into the car just because she's hungry!  It's also the resposibility of moms to try to be as discreet as possible.
