Best practices to possibly include in your book: always include a url with QR codes for those who don't have a smartphone. Also, no need to use QR codes on a web page. Just a link to the page will do. Finally, to help me: could you provide the link?

It's easy to criticize Komen, and I agree, they are far from perfect. But does anyone believe that the movement to fight breast cancer would be anywhere NEAR where it is today without their extremely powerful efforts and influence?

Ya know, Joe, I like to think that, as a nation we’re waking up to the idea that “success and money wash every sin clean.” Still a long-time coming, perhaps, but Occupy is giving me hope.

Komen has been neither mission-focused nor donor-focused for quite some time. Rather they’ve been one of the self-serving bullies of the not-for-profit world.

Cancer is an indescriminant killer. It isn't dependant on the interaction of a human being. Guns can only kill if placed in the hands of the wrong person. Cancer kills and robs life with no mercy. I have owned guns for years and so has my family. To date not one gun has killed anyone. In fact, I know hundreds of gun owners and to date, not one gun has taken a human life. I have known several people with cancer, of which, only about 50% survived. People quickly judge what they fear and want to control others because of that fear. I have a good friend that is fighting a battle with cancer right now and I don't care where the money comes from. Why not talk about the hypocrisy of the phamaceutical companies that vow to make cancer a "Manageable Disease" and refuse to release the cure cause it doesn't benefit the stock holder…

For more info on the pink marketing juggernaut and its implications, check out the new documentary Pink Ribbons, Inc. I saw it last weekend, and it offers a lot of interesting perspective. Here's a link: http://www.nfb.ca/playlist/pink_ribbons_inc/ It's playing now here in Canada - bring it to the States, too!
