That would be the "black Friday" that just passed... the day  
following Thanksgiving owing to the degenerate gambling-induced  
shopping practice that has become rampant in the US.  They put deep  
discounts on a very limited quantity of enticing items so that the  
hoards are lining up at the door for opening time in hopes that in a  
mad dash they may be the "lucky" person to get the ultra-bargain to  
start t heir frenzied Christmas shopping.

Sorry if I seem negative, but I recall when we thought it tacky  
commercialism to put up Christmas decorations and ads the very day  
after Thanksgiving! :-)   Now the media seems ironically proud to  
call the practice "black Friday", and too many people go along with  
the term and the practice.

Thinking the silent majority has been too long silent,
	Ben Andrus
