response to Meryl Rothstein's post Seeing Red
I was so happy to see this article--finally an opinion voiced that mirrors my own. It's absolutely sickening to see the facade of philanthropy being fed to the American consumer through dontaing a miniscule amount of profits to a worthy cause. It's time that people dissassociate themselves with this incredibly flawed consumer mentality.
That being said, I do see a bit of a correlation between buying a product from the (RED) campaign and buying a subscription to GOOD magazine. While this is definitely my favorite publication, it's just ironic that an article like this would appear in a magazine that bases itself in gaining subscribers through the uses of non-profits, when in reality the increase of subscribers really helps increase ad rates.
Great article, though, and, as always, great issue.

Randall, you're a very GOOD friend. You deserve your own care package:
+ An all-expense paid trip to computer camp
+ Blank sketchbooks (for drawing, comics, and thank-you notes)
+ Toy keyboards
+ Apple II GS
+ Ice cream from Anderson's
+ Everything from Mighty Taco, sans healthy food, to be delivered at 1am
+ Jenny Lewis
+ Clothing in TMNT Green
+ New Briefcase for business lunches.
I love you, man. Thanks for your care package wishes. For serious.
