    Jaline... being 'ignorant' and jumping on board with the masses in this 'red' campaign' or the Livestrong campaign are perfectly acceptable forms of 'ignorance' imho...

    ... this is one of those moments where being 'ignorant' at first doesn't really matter... therefore I'm all for the proliferation of such things - because people will 'get it' eventually...

    ... I challenge you to find someone who doesn't understand the meaning behind the Livestrong arm band.

    7 tour de france wins and a bout w/testicular cancer makes for a great story... thus the 'proliferation' of a silly little arm-band which in fact means so much more...

    ... I hope the same thing happens with the 'red' campaign. I could CARE LESS if people jump on board to be like Bono or to be like their neighbor who too is sporting the ipod, phone or shirt etc...

    ... because in the end - it goes to something good.

    I'm glad you're all 'socially aware' of yourselves and everyone around you... but why be worried about what everyone thinks of what 'you're wearing' when 'personally' you know what you purchased has proceeds that aren't completely selfish... or better yet...

    //DON'T WEAR THE SHIRT IN PUBLIC until you feel you're grown-up enough to handle such a social responsibility.
