October is marketing Mecca

Warnng: Cancer rant

It's just around the corner, that month where every object turns pink and "a portion goes for breast cancer research". Oh, really? What portion? What Organization? What does that organization represent and what are their policies? What pieces of legislation do they support? How much of the money goes to overhead for that organization? Does that organization support equal access to quality health care for all? OR does the money go to Susan G Komen? Nancy Brinker (founder of Susan G Komen) is a Republican who was given the ambassadorship to Hungary after tossing baby Bush some Texas cash. Her hubby owns Chili's and other Brinker's establishments. (Can you say sub-par meat?) Komen takes money from corporate sponsors who are responsible for polluting the environment which causes cancer. Komen says they are for "The Cure" but they do not support environmental research. By environmental research, I mean ANYTHING that is not genetic. And 85% of breast cancers diagnosed are NOT genetic-they ARE environmental.

Wrapping it in a pink ribbon does not change the truth.

Race for the Cure, my ass.
