Three gallons
At lunch today I gave blood. The lady who setup my appointment said I should make sure and pick up my 3 gallon pin (which means I've donated more than 24 times). I actually earned it at my last donation, but figured I would save them the expense of giving me a pin - and I certainly don't require gifts to donate. But then it occurred to me that if I wear the pin then people might ask me about it and then they might donate.
But a pin can get lost and even if I put it on a coat or hat I won't be wearing it much so I figured I would blog it!
So let me get to the point...
You should donate blood -- and go for your 3, 5, 20 gallon pin(s). Then you should see if you can influence others to do the same.

7 1/2 gallons and counting here. It's the right thing to do.Anonymous

Should? Perhaps publishing your motivations for this belief would help.
It's quite possible that my moral judgements and opinions would mean that I should not donate blood, and that I should influence others to discontinue donating.
In other words, I'd much rather see a reasoned argument as to WHY anyone should do some act, as opposed to a simple exhortation that one "should" do it.Anonymous
