Colors

July 25th, 2008

Can’t keep up with what all the different color awareness ribbons mean? Here’s a list. Looking at it makes me a little tired. It’s not exactly that I don’t care anymore, it’s just that the overwhelming number of causes represented by a few colors makes the whole ribbon thing seem silly. What if you agree with one cause represented by a particular color but disagree with another? I suggest that everyone go back to wearing big tacky-looking metal buttons so we can all tell what people really care about.

    I guess I get a little tired of it because it so often seems that there’s a cause-du-jour and the others get pushed aside in favor of it. Or people argue over which disease is “worse,” and therefore more deserving of publicity.

    I’ve also heard that in some circles you are kind of shunned if you don’t wear the “right” color ribbon for what cause is currently in.

    People tick me off sometimes.

    We need a special ribbon for Ribbon Fatigue Awareness. Multicolor, maybe?
