Something is very, very wrong here. I wish I knew how to fix it.

disgusting
I am so disturbed and disgusted by the story of the Black Friday Wal-Mart stampede...every time I hear or read more about it, I get more disgusted. No one thought "gee, it looks like I'm walking on a human being, maybe I shouldn't do that?" or "I could help here..."????? Everyone in that line thought "how can I be first to get the good deals on stuff I don't need?"??? Really? People continued shopping after the man was taken away. People were upset when the store closed. People waited in line beginning at 9pm Thursday night...why? Why wait in line at WALMART of all places? And then why kill someone to get cheap trinkets?

I can't stop thinking about it. That and Mumbai. I'm afraid both made it into my sermon for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMumbai made it into mine, but I can't even figure out what to SAY about Wal-Mart.
ReplyDeleteThe Walmart thing is just so amazing - the craziest part of the story to me is when they wanted to shut the store down because of the death the customers were furious. It was like they said "they are dead already let us shop." Scary.
