So what's wrong with being fed bottles of Bud?
While I wouldn't turn down a Bud, I much prefer a
Yuengling Black & Tan or a Guinness Stout. Or a
Genessee Cream Ale.
You would "bottle feed" babies BEER?!?!?
HOW MANY CHILDREN HAS JIMMIE "PARENTED"?
As for what is fed to babies, it should be remembered
that for a couple of decades in the middle of the
20th century, the "professionals" and "experts" told
us that bottle-feeding was *better* for infants than
the "old-fashioned way". The newfangled "formula"
and all the attendant apparatus was "scientific" and
"progressive", they said. Of course it took a whole
pile of hardware (bottles, sterilizer pot with lid and
bottle rack, nipples, nipple rings, seals, bottle tops,
tongs) the formula itself, and a kitchen to do all the
processing to do what "the old fashioned way" did semi-
automatically.
Now explain all of the above to AMATEUR RADIO POLICY.
Show your work.
The "old-fashioned way" was
put down as being vaguely third-world, Luddite,
"horse and buggy" and inferior both physically
and psychologically. Moms who tried to keep the
old ways met with resistance, opposition and
insults.
"Luddite?!?" :-)
Did you breast-feed buggy horses?!?

After all, the "professionals" and "experts" knew
best, right?
Poor baby...still smarting after trying to hold back the
dawn on newer-than-radiotelegraphy modes in amateur radio?
Remember Burke's Law: "CW gets through when everything else does."
As if!
"As if" WHAT? "As if" you made any sense in here with that post?
"As if" everyone spoke eastern PA tuff-ese? :-)
"As if" anyone else gives a damn?
