Wow! What a difference a few hours make! Yesterday I was joyful at what a good experience I had with my brief Black Friday escapade. Then I turned on the internet news. I see “Wal-Mart Employee Trampled to Death” and “Two Men Shot Dead at Toys R Us”. Hello! What is wrong when people put things and their desire to get things at a higher value than life? What can be more important than human life? Which gadget? What toy? It is scary to think that we are becoming a people who are so unaware of the consequences of our actions that we do not think beyond the immediacy. Breaking down doors and trampling a man to get to special sales items. Mob mentality is scary. Think America! I believe in the second amendment, but people who take guns into a store that sells children’s toys give fuel to the fire of those who are against guns. It’s time America. Wake up and think!
