| When this website began in 2006, we (the editorial
we, meaning the webmaster) wanted to build a site to promote mother's
milk and breastfeeding as the norm in our society rather than the
exception. We wanted to change that part of our society that asks, "Does
a woman have the right to breastfeed in public?" and turn it around to
ask, "Does a breastfed baby have the same rights as one who is
bottle-fed?"
Now, in early 2008, we want to expand that concept to
tackle an even more substantial issue in American life, its very
existence and continuation. A piece of legislation innocently called the
MOTHERS Act, Senate Bill 1375, threatens to take away freedom to make
our own choices, freedom to live normally, the right to privacy and the
pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. Really?
Read the bill.
That's why were getting busy today, coordinating information about the
MOTHERS Act to help people understand it as we see it. Then they can
decide for themselves if they wish to take action against it. The
MOTHERS Act is a cleverly disguised wolf in sheep's clothing. It's like
a fox assigned to guard the henhouse. It's like a Trojan Horse bearing
an unwanted and harmful gift.
M.M. Best & Company is dedicated to the webmaster's
mother, whose initials happened to be M. M. before she married the
webmaster's father, who served as a prisoner of war
in Poland at Oflag 64. He clearly wouldn't want to see the America that
would result from the MOTHERS Act. He stood up to tyranny and injustice
in World War II so that his family and his country would be free.
His name was Isaac.
Throughout this website and
others to which we will link, you will see many references to a little
boy named Isaac who is alive today because his mother stood up to the
type of abuse that occurred surrounding his birth, without the aid of
the MOTHERS Act. It is almost as though her case was a trial run for the
scenario that would be repeated many times over if the MOTHERS Act were
to become law.
That little boy was named for his
great-grandfather, Isaac Franklin, Prisoner of War.
 OFlag
64 was a lot like Hogan's Heroes.
But that's a story for another day.
