Death on Black Friday

I just read on msm.com that a WalMart employee was trampled to DEATH by crowds who broke down doors to shop the day after Thanksgiving. This disturbs me deeply. Isn't this a sign of the times that human life is lower of the value scale than a cheap Wii or some other sale item. The article stated that even after the man was down people kept streaming in to the store hoping to find a bargain. What have we come to??? The day after we sit and gorge ourselves on tons of food being "thankful", we run to stores to get more. After eating so much, we are starved and that hunger is insatiable. We just want and need more. and more of what? stuff. Stuff that could "die" and it wouldn't matter. Stuff that next year will be replaced by other stuff. I include everyone in this because as WalMart symbolizes the consumer culture as a whole, so this death symbolizes the collective soul of the masses and it makes me sick. I hate the holidays and when i tell people that, they usually look sad and say something like, that's so sad, but this is why: Christmas season begins with a man being trampled to death by WalMart shoppers. I feel so sad for humans. This is a death that should NOT have happened. I hope, I pray, I plead that this is a WAKE UP call to our souls. This has to change.
