Anti-Bush Bracelets Say, 'Count Me Blue'
Yahoo! News - Anti-Bush Bracelets Say, 'Count Me Blue'
Oh, give me a flipping break.
Oh, give me a flipping break.
After spending 10 days in London with friends who were outspoken about their disdain for President Bush's policies, Berns Rothchild came home wishing she had a way to show the world she didn't vote for him.Sort of reminds me of the Scarlet Letter.
"I sort of felt ashamed, and didn't really want to be associated with being an American," said Rothchild, who lives in New York City and voted for John Kerry (news - web sites).
Her mother had a suggestion: bracelets, inspired by the Lance Armstrong Foundation's popular "LIVESTRONG" bands, that would signal opposition to Bush.
Thousands of miles away, two women in Idaho had the same idea. So did a woman in Kansas. The result? At least three separate bracelet ventures targeting left-leaning citizens who want to wear their political affiliation on their wrists — and at least one competitor bearing the opposite message.

I am so tired of seeing these 'Live Strong' bracelets. Ever since I watched an interview with Lance Armstrong a while back about his cancer, I have had no respect for him. He attributed his recovery solely to the Dr's and his own perseverence. In fact, he said he didn't think God had anything to do with it. This type of attitude I can't understand.
I'm only commenting on Lance Armstrong here. Bryanm: Maybe he isn't a believer. That's not so hard to understand, is it? Seems to me that giving credit to his doctors for his recovery from a life threatening disease is only just and proper.
