We'd all be far better off if corporations would forget all this philanthropy and let us make our own tax deductible donations to whomever we choose.
Besides, I'm getting extremely cynical. How many years have we been fighting this war on cancer with very little to show for it.
That's not really true. My Mom was diagnosed in 1978. My sister-in-law was diagnosed a couple of years ago... So much has changed.
But I agree about letting us do this privately. I don't know if they do this by you, but at our GROCERY STORE, a Safeway store, they ask you when you check out if you want to give to whatever charity they're pushing that day. It's intrusive, and it's meant to embarrass you into giving money, What's worse, is when you give, they make an announcement and all hoot and holler. It's so annoying and I've actually made a complaint, as bad as it makes me look.
