Last night I dreamed somebody cared

"Call me jaded, but the rubber bracelet was cool for about 15 minutes when no one knew what it stood for (referring to the original yellow Lance Armstrong model), but they have now passed out of “cool” and have become “tool”. This is overkill of the most egregious kind. Yuck! Why can’t people be normal and just donate $20 bucks to the Red Cross and be done with it?" I read this rant earlier today and I couldn't agree more. Only this morning I was stood in line at the car dealer when a man in his early 60's was walking about the place sporting, on each wrist, about six or seven of these "cause" bracelets, looking more like a multi-colored clown than a concerned citizen. I peered over my shoulder to get a closer look at his forearms and I was seconds from confronting him...begging the question WHY? He was a trendy man...this was evident by his choice of clothing and shoes, down to his sunglasses...but there is a line and he obviously crossed it.
