I like the color pink, but I don’t want to see big painted pink ribbons on my Cheerios box!

Enough with all the colored ribbons and bracelets — red for AIDS, pink for breast cancer, yellow for other cancers, and on and on and on — yecchhh!!!

I refuse to ‘wear’ or buy anything with these ‘ribbons’ attached to various illnesses or conditions. This does not mean I won’t make charitable contributions; but I have no interest in telling the world what a great humanitarian I am.

Cheerios is a General Mills product, and General Mills supports a number of left-wing causes. Many years ago some action by GM induced me to create my "Permanent Boycott" list -- it's really hard to get on it, but difficult to get off (because once you're on I forget why you're there; no appeal is possible). I think there was a GM link to PETA or anti-hunting, and Sony had its rootkits, but in any case I don't buy either company's products anymore.

Last time I went to buy a mini-pocket camera, feature-wise the Sony had it but I bought a Nikon instead. (And am happy with it!)
