Blingless in a bling-bling world.

I am not trying to discourage the philanthropic efforts of anyone, but I think we are getting way too overwhelmed with plastic bracelets and magnetic ribbons. I see them everywhere. During my commute, peopel on elevators wearing the bracelets.

Frankly, there are so many different causes (good ones) that it dilutes the message.

It is difficult to donate $$ these days with so many people asking. Between the United Way, Church, and kids peddling candy bars (I despise the wal-mart hawkers) I don't have the expendable income to say yes. I just say no.

Thanks Nancy Reagan.
