The Red Ribbon


have you heard about the latest fashion craze sweeping the country of wearing a small red ribbon on your lapel or bag or wherever? come on, everyone is doing it! well, only the smart, cool, and socially aware people that is. so get your red ribbon now!
.
haha...ok. but seriously... today is WORLD HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY and a good way to show everyone that you realize how big a problem HIV/AIDS is both here at home and even more so on a global scale, is to wear a small little red ribbon on your outfit today. But don't let it just be for today or just consider it a fashion statement. although the publicity is good, it would be great for you to actually DO SOMETHING to help the cause. from donating money to donating your time, there is always a need. if good samaritanism is not up your alley, than it's just as effective to take the selfish route... protect yourself and those you do care about... practice safer sex kiddies and try to encourage others to do so as well.
