Happy Buy Nothing Day
Today, the day after Thanksgiving has the ominous title "Black Friday". Black like as in death, destruction, chaos, violence and greed. Perhaps this is a bit of an overstatement accept for the fact that last year a security guard was crushed to death by a mob of Walmart shoppers rushing to save a few buck. So today you could spend your time with a group of people who would inadvertently kill a man over some cheap Chinese goods or you could join activists around the world in supporting Buy Nothing Day. Maybe spend some time with your kids, take your dog for a walk, hit the slopes or the beach depending on where you live. Or battle it out in your local box store, the choice is yours.
