Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm very sorry... but I find all of this very annoying... :-( I think that this is exactly what the whole issue of the quoted speaker (:-s) is about: tolerance and open mindedness. If we all get upset by someone else's idea, even if there is only one simple analogy used, to illustrate a physical process... there is no end to irritation. To many developments, that will not be very advantageous. Even worse: it no longer deals with the content, but with ego instead. I could go off list with this, but I prefer to keep things visible, as I don't even understand what this is about. What's the use of saying "I've heard it said" and then use a quote that everyone knows whom it belongs to... to me (as a European?), that is a silly way of being 'politically correct'... :-( More than often enough, I see issues dealt with on all kinds of lists, that I don't agree with or am 'put off' by. I let it go and don't take offense. I use it to rethink my own thinking, maybe, but that's it. Giving a quote and attributing it to the one who spoke or wrote the words, is, in my opinion, a way of consciously giving credits, instead of taking pride in things you can't take credit for. I think I should take my own advice now and let go of this topic, regardless of what others may contribute after this posting...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It is annoying, nne. Some people in the US are not only bitter that the presidency has changed over, but that the US and, indeed, the world is so excited about the new prospects his leadership brings. The last two elections were won (a debatable point in itself) by such narrow margins and with such divisiveness but this one was a clear rallying cry for change and progress that I don't doubt the folks on the other side of the aisle are feeling bad. But make no mistake, Obama's presidency is popular and exciting. We are less divided as a nation than we have been for many years. And, , while I appreciate your point, as an LLLL it is important not to mix causes publicly because *as* an LLLL one is representing the organization itself. However, as an IBCLC (when I do not use LLLL after my name), I am representing myself and my business. That's it. It behooves me to use restraint and circumspection, and of course I must follow the Code of Ethics, but I am not under the same obligations as a Leader, per se. And, because of that, I plan to inform people that medicated births can lead to medicated babies who don't nurse as well. Circumcision can negatively impact a baby's ability to breastfeed well in those early days. And so on. I plan to speak the truth, when it is research-based and relevant to breastfeeding. As Abraham Lincoln said: " Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
