Priorities

Truly sad commentary on our priorities as a society, seen on the local news.

Story about people spending time with God and/or family on the holiday? Nope, this news story was about people so consumed by greed for material goodies that they skipped their holiday altogether and have been camped out in store parking lots for a day or two to get those Black Friday sale items.

Of course, shouldn't be a big surprise that greed is so important. After all, last year, "shoppers" trampled and killed a WalMart employee on Black Friday and completely failed to notice having done so, so fixated were they on those toys, TVs, etc.
