With No Money We'd All Go Crazy

Today is the latest installment in one of America's most loathsome traditions: the after-Thanksgiving shopping orgy, appropriately known as Black Friday. Anyone who went to a 12:01 sale last night deserves an hour in the stocks. The managers at those chain stores who are so greedy that they flouted Massachusetts law and opened on Thanksgiving deserve a felony caning. I guess I have a modicum of understanding for the Asian grocery chain that opened its doors since most Asian people do not celebrate the holiday anyway. But CompUSA -- shame! Many large retailers only close their doors on 2 days a year: Thanksgiving and Christmas. If 2 days a year is too much of a restriction to place on your unfettered greed, may you hawk your plasma televisions in the 7th citcle of hell! Christmas is obviously next. Corporations are so sociopathic that they cannot tolerate culture, history, tradition, or humanity to inconvenience them in any way. And any of you soulless, retail-shopping junkies who can't resist the sales -- you deserve the Capitalist dystopia you've already got.
