No Vadar, that's not a deal... I have no reason, no agenda, if you will, to get you to wear red. If you do, it'll be because of your own desire to support the troops who bleed so you can have your freedoms. What I said was, why not help start the Red Friday deal? How does word of something get out? As the original e-mail started out, there's no media support. So it's through e-mail, forums, and word of mouth. If you put it out at your work, maybe one person runns with the idea. That one person then tells 15 more people, and two of them run with it... That's the only way something like this would work. If everyone has the 'it'll never work' attitude that you do, then of course it never will.
Fair enough. Tell you what. I'll still keep my part of the bargain. I'll wear Red tomorrow and if even one person mentions the email, I'll donate an additional $100.

I can't put the email out at work. I have told my users never to forward these types of emails and I'm no hypocrite, but I'll do my part and put my wallet behind the effort.

And I hope your kid is feeling better.



(oh by the way....I really hate the color choice...I could see liberals doing the same thing to show how many have died)

Thank you... It's not the money, it's just that I don't want your support on a bet, but on your own ideals...

I didn't drag him into anything, he invited himself to the party when he started talking...He should know he's gotta pay to play...

This circulated at the callcenter I work at (in Canada no less) and a large part of the call center wore red on the friday afterwards (yes, me included), I was pretty shocked.
