I see schmucks wearing a ribbon in support of some suppusedably grand cause and have disgust rise up within me. Usually the only people to profit from the worn ribbon are the vast foreign ribbon making conglomerates, not those whom the ribbon purportedly represents.

These ribbon wearing chumps "feel" better because they can be seen to seem to care about this or that cause. All the while they've done little to nothing to actually support a cause, other then buy a ribbon from Mexico or China.

Actions speak louder then words. And doing something half assed just so you can be seen doing it, is still doing it half assed.

To stand on the corner in the poor section of town and loudly lament about how much you care about the poor does the poor no damn good. Cloth, feed, and most importantly teach them to cloth and feed themselves and then you've done something.

Wearing a pink ribbon, glove, arm band, or cleat shoe, does no good to those with breast cancer, educating yourself and spreading that knowledge does.

Purple ribbons to support anti-bullying? It's worth about as much as mouse droppings for coffee flavoring. Teach the bullied self confidence, self defense(verbal and physical) and how to stand up to wrongs, and then you've actually done something.

In summery, get off you ass and actually do something, leave the ribbon wearing to the pansies who wear ribbons.
