The value of a human life...

I am saddened and embarrassed to be a human being today. Early this morning in Long Island a man working for Wal-Mart was trampled to death by a stampede of shoppers trying to get into the building. Apparently the value of a human life is worth nothing more than saving 5% on junk people could have bought later for the same price.

Common decency is gone. Your fellow man is no longer worth the oxygen he breaths if he's in the way of that George Foreman 360 that's on for 3 cents less than Wednesday.

I say this again; I am saddened and ashamed to be a human being today. I do NOT take part in these idiotic Black Friday debacles because of moronic behavior such as this.

Merry Effen Christmas. I hope it's all worth it to you.

	I was also saddened when I read about this. I don't go to these sales either because of the greedy actions of some people. But I won't loose faith. Not all humans are like this. The the way we can fight this is just what you said, "don't partisipate". And I try to be a good example. I'm not perfect by a long shot, but I try to do the right thing.

	I know EXACTLY how you feel. I heard about this earlier today. I feel many people will be saddened....at knowing about this happening. Its hard to believe that people can get trampled to death......just to grab a bargain. It is really SICK !

	Since I posted this I found out a couple things... #1 People broke down the doors to get into the store #2 Even the people trying to help this guy were stampeded #3 A pregnant woman was taken to hospital as well after being stampeded. My fix - Get the names of everyone who got a receipt for a purchase at that store within the first 20 minutes of it opening and send them to Guantanamo... Oh, and there was a gun battle in a Toys-R-Us parking lot yesterday too... An EFFING KID'S STORE!!! Why would you bring a gun to a kid's store? I hate people.... All of them....
