Wal-Mart

So apparently a Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death as eagre shoppers tore the doors off their hinges when the store opened.

It’s actually not the first time something like this has happened on a Black Friday.  I don’t just feel that this is a sad reflection of our society’s lust for the material, but that it is horrible that stores as big as Wal-Mart continue to do nothing about it.

This was forseeable.  It was even forseen.  We aren’t going to change the way our culture is, but we can police crowds a little and enforce lines.  People need to learn to queue up.
