If you don't wish to support breast cancer, that is your right. I don't understand your need to come on TOTV and spew your hatred. A large percentage of tbe population has or had breast cancer or a family member has or was lost to breast cancer. It has nothing to do with boobs. It has to do with cancer. I'm trying to keep this civil enough so the admin don't remove it. Just know what I think would not pass mustard.
