Today, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the pharmaceutical
monolith that charges nearly $1,000 for a 30 day
supply of one of its HIV/AIDS medications, is donating
$1 to the National AIDS Fund for each person who
simply visits their website and "virtually lights a
candle." The tally is near 1,000,000 now. Please,
please take a minute to "light a candle":

This really will take just a second!! Please forward
this on to other friends!

P.S. Please, take a few seconds to repost this so that
the word can get out to as many people as possible.
Thank You!

Hope this isn't violating any rules.

According to the fine print on the website, they have committed to donating $100,000, period. Your vote is helping to raise awareness, not $$$. Awareness is a good thing!

Nothing, sick patients paid for it by purchasing their drugs.
By the same logic, you paid nothing for you bike. Your employer payed for it by purchasing your labor.

Correct if employed. But the consumer actually paid for it by buying the employers service so they could pay their labor cost. The consumer need is what generated the service.

Yeah, but what about the employers of the consumers who bought your employers services? Or for that matter, the consumers who bought the products of the employers who paid the consumers who bought the services of your employer who paid you?? I guess its true that a circle has no end... :p
