Who's the red crystal for? Washed up New Agers?

Since the Red Cross is in no way a religious organization, I think they should adopt the Red Diamond for all operations, and do away with the cross and crescent altogether.

Who cares? They can be the red swastica for all I care. I know two things:
They are red... as in commie red.
And they'll never get a nickel of my money.

You mean they won't sue us for putting red crosses on our 1st aid kits any more?

The red cross was formed by a Swiss guy and he simply reversed the swiss flag, which is a white cross on a red background.

Why not Red Lobster? Insensitive to those with shellfood diet restrictions.
I hear that Helen Reddy is looking for a new gig, though.

The Israeli emergency service refuses to use either of the two globally recognised symbols, opting instead for a red Star of David.Duh! That would be because the "two globally recognized symbols" are both explicit symbols of specific religions that are in major theological conflict with Judaism. It would make more sense for the IFRC to get rid of the "two globally recognized symbols" and replace them with something totally non-sectarian. Keeping those two and then adding a "crystal" box for Israel to squish its religious symbol into, isn't much of an improvement IMO. Why shouldn't the cross and crescent have to be squished inside "crystals" too?

No to the Red Cross & United Way!
