I'd like to see a 'don't keep' as well, but I think it's a bunch more  
complicated in the current data-store implementation. Activities get  
Journal entries created as you switch away from them, and perhaps some  
other cases (sleep?), so a 'don't keep' button would need to actively  
DELETE journal entries that may have been created before the activity  
was first stopped.

Just wanted to raise the implementation issues, but I would like a  
'don't keep' if it didn't burn too much core dev time, though I accept  
this may be due to my particular current Sugar usage pattern.
