Just when I'm sitting here, sipping my luke-warm hot chocolate, thinking of ways to create holiday traditions with my children that have the theme of love and caring, and NOT focusing on commercialism, i have to hear about an employee of Wal-Mart being trampled TO DEATH by Black Friday Shopping Freaks. Today. The day after giving thanks for what we do have and what we appreciate in our lives.
Oh yeah - - and a pregnant woman miscarried, too. So TWO LIVES were taken.
Honestly, people. Is buying a big-screen television for a small fraction off the regular price worth the LIFE of a human being, whose death will no doubt create a domino effect of great loss this Christmas season??? I'm guessing he had kids...
What a way to go.
OMG Chris. I could not agree with you more!!!!! It disgusts me. As a side note, my final paper for my English comp class is a paper on why Wal-mart is bad. LOL I'll have to let you read it sometime.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see we still have a lot in common. Always hated Black Friday and hate it even more now. Tremendously happy for you Ron... your family is beautiful! Made me smile to see you named your son Vonnegut, I named mine Kurt :) Would love to hear from you...
