   Wonderful frigging world we live in. Yesterday we give thanks, we sit around a table and eat with our loved ones, thankful for what we have... then the next day we go to stores and kill each other over materialistic items that aren't even worth THINKING about shedding blood over... but we still do it. People will tell you the overall religion of America is Christianity... well I got news for all of you guys in other countries: It's not Christianity... it's consumerism. (Yes, I got that from The Amazing Atheist, but let's face it, he's right.) It's just like last year with the trampled Wal Mart employee... except this year, two people were SHOT. Two people DIED, and for what? Nothing.

   I'm sorry, I really am, but I am DISGUSTED knowing how brutal we can be to each other, and for no good reason. You may think we're the most evolved and advanced species on this blue sphere in the sea of stars, but as the great George Carlin once said, we haven't even made it out of the jungle. Haven't even made it out of the jungle.
How I feel about the post-thanksgiving holiday Black Friday, which is EXTREMELY hypocritical when you stop to think about it.
