disturbed.

i love shopping. i love shopping.

let me get that straight. but i also dislike. no wait. can't stand. shopping on the day after thanksgiving. i never go. never. i would rather eat beets. and i hate beets.

i know there are deals. but i also think these deals are not worth getting up at 3 am for. waiting in crowds. like dogs for a few dollars off. so i will never. never go out on the day after thanksgiving.

i will wait to spend my money later.

but what happened on friday in new york at a wal-mart. is disturbing. disturbing. a worker was crushed to death by a mob of rabid shoppers. seriously...?...yes. seriously. i'm sure you've heard. who thinks they're going to be killed by shoppers? shoppers after tvs and dvds and mp3 players. sweaters and toys. someone taken out by these people. and then after they discovered that someone had been killed. and they were asked to leave. were angry. angry that they couldn't shop.

seriously? were they still drunk on turkey and stuffing? do they not understand what happened?

i have been disturbed by this. i feel horrible for this man's family. an innocent job. killed by rabid shoppers. what has become of us?
