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!
