Do I have opinions? Yes, and my opinions may be very different from those of others. (Caveat -- yes, I have family/friends who have struggled with breast cancer. I am very sympathetic to those who have suffered and also to their loved ones who also suffer.)

However, somehow other dire illnesses have been lost in the overwhelming success of the breast cancer publicity campaign. Accept it or not, charities/foundations that support cures, testing and public awareness for various illnesses are in direct competition with each other for donations and publicity. Breast cancer has planes and pink ribbons, muscular dystrophy has Jerry Lewis, Parkinson's has Michael J. Fox, and the list goes on.

So no, I am not in favor of another pink plane. Personally (not that that matters) I would rather see a plane dedicated to supporting and publicizing the work of the leukemia and lymphoma society. Not likely to happen -- they haven't co-opted a color to be their symbol. Before I get flamed here, I do want and hope for prevention and cure of breast cancer. I just don't want other worthy causes to get lost in the rush for everything pink.
