Wny? Becuase women contol the purse strings.

I think it’s because women make doctors appointments and take care of their health more. Which is fine, good for them. I don’t like how they try to claim evil forces are preventing any money from being spent on breast cancer research.

Well, I'm a woman and I'm not impressed. I recall when they came out with the breast cancer stamp. I refused to buy one. I'm sick of the pandering.

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.

I don’t know how it is where you live, but here in CA the keypad at the counter asks you if you want to give to charity [right now it is muscular dystrophy].

If you indicate “no” on the pad, the cashier is supposed to ask you verbally if you want to give money to that charity. You have to respond verbally before they will allow you to pay for your purchases.

I find it irritating that one has to go through these steps to buy groceries!
