Black Friday: Shaking My Head ...

[Esquire]

I can't help but shake my head watching all the news coverage for Black Friday talking about how much shoppers are "saving" ...

"Saving" ...? Is that what we call it these days? I call it "spending." And (as MJ observes) wanton consumerism is the root of most servitude.

All I see are hoardes of irresponsible people unknowingly surrendering their freedom.

Thanks, but no thanks. I want no part of it.

And when I see people camping out in front of Best Buy ... I think ... how little must this person value his or her time to do that? And for what ...? To buy a big screen television? And you wonder why their time is worth so little. Piss poor decisions like that. Nuts.

The only thing I purchased today was an customizable open-source software package I can use to launch an online information marketing business. "Happy Black Friday" to me ...

Sorry for the rant. Had to get it off my chest (shaking my head) ...
