Donating is a choice... I am under no legal obligation to donate blood, to write a check to the charity of my choice, to give a back of unused items to Goodwill, it's my choice... I willingly choose that on a regular basis.

When the state says that I have to do something... that takes away my choice.

I'll say it one more time for the cheap seats... I am an organ donor, I've given gallons of blood, I've donated bone marrow... twice (after knowing how much it hurt the first time)... I would give a kidney to pretty much anyone... It's my choice though... I don't want that choice taken.
