Hmmm, I didn't follow all this from the beginning, and I seldom read taglines, but as I recall all Bella's tagline supports are organizations similar to Ronald MacDonald house, except for the family's of wounded troops (could be a training accident that occured in the US) and one that funds educational opportunities for the families of deceased troops (again the trooper could have died in a training accident stateside) So, what is the fuss about?
She hasn't said one way or the other about her feelings on the war (again, I didn't really pay attention at the beginning) so why are some ppl berating her? As someone said, a tagline wastes bandwidth, yet here some of are discussing this and wasting more bandwidth. Geeesh! Flame away, I'm in my asbestos suit! And the fire pumps are at the ready as well!
