How Do You Feel About This?

What is happening?
I am very disgusted (and maybe disgusted isn't the accurate word usage here, but for now it will work) with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. According to the Huffington Post article out today (January 4th) they are suing other charities for using the word "cure" and the color pink in their fund raising programs. 

I don't quite understand the business world to much, but am smart enough to realize that their main goal usually is to make money. This is sadly proof for me that money is the first thing on their mind. If everyone is making a collaborative effort to raise money for charity then I don't understand the big deal. It's a word...cure. People want to cure cancer. I do not feel that the Susan G. Komen Foundation should own that word by any means, nor the color pink. This is as bad as Paris Hilton copyrighting the word "that's hot" -  I am very disappointed...



I don't know about anyone else, but I support breast cancer awareness and any fundraiser that wants to raise money for this cause. The more awareness the better. One organization is great, but multiple organizations are better.
