Gulfstream

http://www.slate.com/id/2134294/ The Red Cross is apparently running an ad that ridicules almost all well-meaning attempts to “save the world”—except donating blood, that is. (I can’t get the ad working on my Mac.) Whilst I do believe that every charity needs to think seriously about why it is more important than its brethren (as with religions, if they don’t believe they are more worthy than the others, they should close down), and anyone trying to get money for e.g. Greenpeace, say, should certainly be able to explain why theirs is a better cause than, say, e.g. Unicef (and vice versa), directly attacking other charities seems unproductive, ill-mannered and unbecoming. 13:58
