I have to say that I think the whole obsession with shopping on the day after Thanksgiving is completely stupid. No offense intended to those who enjoy it, but to me it is a most insane and pointless thing.
It is stuff, possesions, trinkets, junk ... who cares??? Can't people find something better to do with their time and money? Donate to a charity, volunteer in a soup kitchen or humane society, bake some cookies for a senior care center, stay home with your family and pets.
I think it is a sad, sad statement on the mentality in this country.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
