I cant believe the number of people spewing negative backlash over the ALS ice bucket challenge that has captivated the nations interest recently. Ive seen it called selfish, ignorant, foolish, bandwagoning... I could go on and on. One sect is actually condemning it as a waste of water during a draught. Are you friggin serious?! Look.. people have been running marathons to raise awareness and funds for cancer research for decades. Jerry Lewis held Labor Day fundraisers for muscular dystrophy for over 30 years, (well into his 80s).The March of Dimes has had a donation jar at cash registers in nearly every major grocery store chain as long as I can remember. This is just the form of an awareness drive that has grass-roots manifested itself into what you see now. I for one applaud it. All you haters need to shut up and pray you never contract ALS. If you do, you might want the nation to stand up for you too.
