Re: Komen pulls screening grants from Planned Parenthood

I think the organization has become a PR firm for its corporate sponsors. They've confused the means for the end. Their stated purpose is to cure breast cancer, but they've gotten in bed with the cancer industrial complex and they've started trading on misery and rebranding it as "hope" and triumph. Slapping a pink Komen logo on a product makes it sell because it makes people think they're doing something. That has become SKG's true mission--making more money. That's the reason stage iv people are kind of a dirty little secret. That just isn't a "feel good" message.
