What the H E double L  is going on in todays world?

The hype of Black Friday is getting a little over the top when human lives are being lost. Walmart was running radio ads early Thanksgiving week promoting a great price on a very limited number of sale items. One ad was for a 32 inch LCD TV for around $300.00 and their were only 5 with no rain checks. That could explain the poor associate being TRAMPLED to death as the customers forced open the stores doors. The herd of so called bargain hunters had one thing one their collective minds: I want that TV and I'll do whatvever I have too to get it. The thought of having a human lying on the floor being trampled on is too horrendous for me to comprehend.

Then in California two people argue over a sale item and shots are fired in the stores aisle. SHOTS ARE FIRED!. Two peolpe are dead. Is this insane? I believe the deceased were women and most ikely they were Mothers. If so the children left behind will not have their Mommy's for Christmas and the rest of their lives....for what? A couple hundred dollars saved on a great priced sale item?

 The animalistic thrill of the hunt has taken over in todays society and it sends the human compassion one might have out the window. I for one tend to have a little more patience when I get to a parking lot. I tend to stop and allow a car to make a left hand turn in front of me in the holiday season. We only have a month to  practice random acts of kindness during the holidays and hope it can carry over into the new year. A song lyric comes to mind:

"Come on people now smile on you're Brother, everybody get together try to love one another right now"
