It's a sad commentary on my values that the would-be sorority do-gooder's inability to punctuate or spell irks me more than anything:<p>(from AP)<p> In an April 6 e-mail sent to about 170 members of Gamma Phi Beta, sophomore Christie Key, the Missouri-Columbia chapter’s blood donation coordinator, wrote: “I dont care if you got a tattoo last week LIE. I dont care if you have a cold. Suck it up. We all do. LIE. Recent peircings? LIE.†The American Red Cross tells people who are sick or have recently received tattoos or piercings not to donate blood, to protect their and the blood recipients’ health. Key added: “Even if youre going to use the Do Not Use My Blood sticker, GIVE ANYWAY.†Donors who have second thoughts at the donation site can discreetly attach a sticker to a health questionnaire indicating their blood shouldn’t be used. Those donations are destroyed, the Red Cross said.
