Pink can suck it

After spending time with my sisters cleaning out my mom's closets, we were all a mess. There was a pile of shirts, hats, scarves, and assorted crap with the damn pink ribbon on it. We determined there'd be a "pink can suck it" table at our next yard sale. What does pink do? Yes, local chapters say they provide mammograms for women. That can be lifesaving. In fact, some of Mom's medical bills were covered, after she died. But pink didn't find a cure. It hasn't in over 30 years with $2.5 billion. So what does it do? How can we NOT have a cure? How are there still hundreds of diseases with no cure, despite billions of dollars in donations and research? Why are we pouring this money into causes that make no discernible progress when people in other countries don't have simple antibiotics or clean water? When children in America go hungry at night? I don't know. And that sucks.
