Black Friday is upon us and someone lost a loved one because people are just plain stupid. I'm not the kind of person that is bugged by a lot of things but no human life is worth getting a DVD player for 75% off or 2 for 1 on socks!
In New York, a Wal-Mart clerk was trampled to death when 200+ shoppers physically broke down the doors to get in the store.
All I can do is plead with the human race and ask, "Why can't we live in a world where a Wal-Mart employee isn't literally afraid for their life on the day after Thanksgiving?"
After I read the news story, a couple of swear words almost left my mouth.
On a lighter note, I want to wish everyone, "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!"

Thanks for the additional link ng2000!
I too was outraged to hear this story!!! Cattle stampede and trample living things, humans eat cattle. This hierarchy should indicate what our behavior should be. I hope the 15% discount on the tickle me Elmo was worth an empty setting at someone's christmas dinner.
Maybe we should start letting retail employees carry concealed weapons.
