Alberto, I'm curious why you feel so strongly about
breastfeeding pictures being forbidden on Facebook.  
Until now I was not even aware nor cared.  To ban 
breastfeeding in public places is more controversial. 
Were you a bottle baby and that explains your obsession, 
or are you just objecting to censorship?~)  Really, this 
is a tempest in a teapot, and there are many far more 
legitimate reasons to hate Facebook.  It is a threat to 
privacy, as is any electronic network receiving revenue 
from it's data banks on users.  People so concerned about
personal privacy should never use banks, credit cards, etc. 
They shouldn't register for social security, get a driver's
license, or go online.  (including this list!~)
