Black Friday

Retailers have named the day after Thanksgiving, "Black Friday". I liked it better when it was called "the day after Thanksgiving". I am not sure if people realize that Black Friday means it is a day that the public will spend enough money in retail stores to have the ledgers show a profit. A few years ago, in 2008, at 5AM, in a neighboring town, Valley Stream, NY, a security guard was trampled to death in Walmart, when the crowd rushed in, in a buying frenzy. Obviously, the mans death meant nothing to the store, as they still open early on Black Friday. Let's take a moment to show our respects to Jdimytai Damour, who did not need to die at 34 years old, because people wanted bargains. Large retailers are psychologically toying with our minds in an effort to make money. If no one showed up early at the stores, they would have to open at normal hours. Not even a man's death, stops corporate greed.
