Reply #15: Excellent idea.

I had never seen a breastfeeding child until I gave birth--no living relatives or even friends who had any information to give me. Luckily, I could afford a visit from a lactation consultant (who also does charity work). I've seen my parents raise children with little help and bad advice--as hard as they worked and as much as they cared, they deemed dentistry and reading materials not worth the expense. We didn't qualify for assistance, and they probably would have been too proud, anyway. But they did take everything they felt they deserved from the government, and not one penny more.

Most people would avail themselves of such a service--even just a quick "cute baby, here's a list of numbers if you need help." I'm guessing the cost to foment the radical idea that society gives a shit about you would be a bomber or two. I'm quite willing to give a couple up.
