A Brave Heart

21st Century Snake Oil

Just wanted to post this video because I love that she made it and totally agree with her.  The majority of these big business organizations, i.e. charities, are manipulating the public and making a mockery of the cause they are supposedly bringing "awareness" too.    I don't want to get into numbers, just do your own research and see how much actually goes towards the cause.  These groups are banking on your blindness of sympathy.  Do research before throwing your money away to any organization, there are good ones out there and usually they are within your own community.  These groups took one right out of religious profiteers' handbook.
