[Viva] Fwd: New Starbucks opening with proceeds going to BCPWA

[Denise Becker]

I think this is a healthy discussion.  Personally, I think you have to be
willing to lobby and encourage to turn corporate greed into corporate
giving.  I am an optimist and believe that a frog can always turn into a
prince.  My favourite bad guy is big pharma and insurance companies but I
never say never!
