It's clear the question isn't answered, so it's not clear that there is anything wrong with providing milk IN MOST INSTANCES, at least. Thanks to a few people for the public politically based flames attacking for appearing to THEM to be attacking George Bush. It's nice to know that net.med is as intolerant as net.flame and net.politics(.flame). Funny, the people who replied seem to think I'm a democrat. They should read their own net history first.
