Locks Of Love - Good or Bad?

I have yet to hear of a situation where someone cut his/her hair off because they felt socially obligated to do so. This is like saying that the Salvation Army coerces people into giving up their wardrobes. The truth is, people donate only what they're willing to part with, generally items that no longer suit their tastes, needs, or body type. The same goes for hair.But let's assume a worst-case scenario: Let's say Locks of Love is pressuring women to give up their long hair for the sake of those who can't grow any. Hair grows back. Donating a ponytail can help to heal someone's emotional scars and help them to feel "normal" and pretty again. This, in turn, can help motivate them to fight their illness and survive.But I don't see how the organization could be "pressuring" individuals to cut their hair. They don't have a mailing list of long-haired Americans. They don't have agents stationed at every salon. The most extreme situation I could imagine might be a charitable promotion going on at a salon, where the stylists would ask long-haired patrons, "Would you like to donate your hair to Locks of Love?" The customer would then have only to say no.Someone who /couldn't/ say no to that would have to have assertiveness issues, period.In fact, if I wanted to donate my hair, I wouldn't even know where to go. I'm willing to bet this Miss Virginia (or whatever) did it 1) for publicity, 2) because it IS a worthy cause, and 3) because she wanted to cut her hair anyway.Ally
