We are in such economic peril, but can wake up at an ungodly time of day to probably buy useless junk with money that could go somewhere else. We are like mindless, brainwashed sheep who are cuckolded to buy stuff because its several percents off.
It is very tragic that Mr. Damour's death should finally sober us up about how idiotic we've become in this consumer society. Why do we need to be up at 5am in the cold just to get a bargain.
However, another issue that troubles me is the manner in which the Nassau County Goons (Nassau County Police) are looking to review the tape and possibly seek charges against those who were caught on tape in the stampede. My take on this is: from personal observation (l occasionally just buy food there) the store's clientele is 80-95% black/hispanic which means to me that some type of put-these-animals-in-their-place coded message is being played out. Believe me, if it had been a predominately-white clientele, it quicky would have been reported in market media as a tragedy and forgotten, then moved on to what the latest pre-teen/teen is doing with her life.
lt feels like a double edged sword to me. On one link, a black president is going to the White House. On another link, black people may even be charged in this tragedy for exercising a traditional behavior in this consumer society, yet as a people,contribute to its strength in many ways over that doesnt get properly addressed.
It would have been appropriate if we had remembered Sean Bell who around this time 2 years ago was savagely murdered by NYPD goons who were found not guilty. lf only we had taken the time to remember these links and maybe put them in some order, Mr. Damour might not have died. It would have been appropriate if we all who have been the victims of some injustice in this society stayed home.
F##k baseball!!! the national pastime is buying things
