Did everyone hear about the Wal-Mart employee who was trampled to death today? Trampled to death by people who were so desperate to buy more shit to fill up their lives that they killed another human being. Can you even believe that? A healthy 34-year-old man showed up at his temp job today, most likely dreading the Black Friday crowds, and left in a body bag.
I'm incredibly upset by this story and I have so many questions. Did the store still open? (The death happened at 5:03 a.m., just after they opened the doors.) Did they still merrily ring the cash registers all day? Did the throng that caused the death get the deals they came for? Do they feel guilty? Were employees expected to man their posts after someone was killed manning theirs?
Is $50 off a big-screen TV (or whatever!) worth it?
Okay, on a much happier note, I just spent a lovely evening with some of the smart, beautiful women in my life. It's so nice to spend time in the company of people I admire. We all should remember to nurture those relationships. Hmmm...sounds like the makings of a New Year's resolution...
