Unhappy What is wrong with us? Black Friday?!?

My wife and I got up late this morning, since I had a much appreciated day out of the ED. We had seen the "Black Friday" sales flyers in the mail and on the internet. No thanks, not for us.

So we see the news this morning (Drudge) and are in total disbelief. Wal-Mart shoppers on Long Island physically BROKE DOWN THE DOORS and stampeded into the store KILLING a 34 y/o Wal-Mart employee and injuring others.

In another posted video, people are literally scrapping over X-Box 360 consoles like looters after Katrina. It was ridiculous.

Spoiling the day after we are supposed to be so very thankful for all of our blessings with the commercialization of the Christmas Season is bad enough. But the behavior of some of our "adults" is just unreal.

I hope that man's family has a strong heart and are able to overcome this senseless tragedy.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
