Question the Conventional

1$

What can you buy with 1$?

Not much, but you can donate one dollar to charity and make a difference.

 

I was in the check out line today and they were doing the whole “would you like to donate 1$ to breast cancer research”?  Now I HATE when people do this, it’s like when a Jehovah witness comes and knocks on your door and asks if you have found JC.  I usually answer yeah, I just left him in the shower and your cutting into our time.

 

I digress, so anyways there I was at the check out line and I am kind of spacing out and I noticed that for the 2nd time this clerk has asked if someone would like to donate a dollar she got shot down.  By two women.  In a row.  Who obviously can afford it.  So I got kind of pissed, I mean it’s their money, but seriously ONE DOLLAR.  For breast cancer research.  And they were women. 

How messed up is your life that you can’t sacrifice one dollar when 75% of sales are made on plastic, you don’t have to physically have a dollar in your pocket.  In fact, I bet these selfish women lost more then a dollar a week in loose change. 

1$ and you can make huge strives in cancer research and take steps towards saving lives.  Or you can keep your one dollar and go get a burger off the dollar menu…fat asses. 

 

Open your eyes and pay it forward.
