Black Friday indeed...

I wonder if the persons who broke down the doors at a Wal-Mart and trampled employees - including a 34-year-old man who died of his injuries - consider themselves murderers?

The NY Times quotes Detective Lt. Michael Fleming, who is in charge of the investigation for the Nassau police, as saying: “I’ve heard other people call this an accident, but it is not,” he said. “Certainly it was a foreseeable act.”

I think that's well said.

There are times when I think the Puritans weren't completely wrong in banning Christmas celebrations as unChristian.
