Really Wal-Mart? Again? Have you not learned your lesson from the billionth time you've done your ridiculous "After Thanksgiving Sale"-that maybe...I don't know...YOU NEED TO PROVIDE A BETTER WAY OF TACKLING THE CONSUMERS!!!!
I'm sorry, first off, I'm not a fan of the "hell mouth" also known as Wal-Mart anyway (I'm bias to Target, for obvious reasons), but every season it's the same story. Billions of people trampled and hospitalized after Wal-Mart lacks in providing sufficient security and now, you're dealing with one of these "victims" as being an 8-month pregnant woman. SMART!
Ok, so this blog isn't about Wal-Mart and how lame they are-but more about the disturbing fact that Religion and the Holidays are great ideas...in theory-they just have horrible execution. I'm not an Atheist, so put down your Christian torches-but I do believe that "Organized Religion" and "Holiday Spirit" are oxymorons...shall I explain?
Let's tackle the Holiday Spirit or lack there of. Once again, don't get me wrong, there is nothing that screams "Holidays" more to me than spending time with your family, in a cozy home, filled with love, memories and cinnamon smells coming from the kitchen. Sure the presents are nice, but the memories is what I'm after.
But it's difficult to get into the Holiday Spirit when a "Blue Hair" is honking at you in the parking lot and eventually gives you the finger or when there are the infamous Wal-Mart mishaps and of course the overall annoyance and anger in every one's hearts.
It probably doesn't help that they retail stores open their doors at 3 AM for a 6-hour sale, just so you can buy your dad that ridiculous hat he doesn't even want (you know you've done it).
So you say we're going through a recession and if the retail companies aren't making money, than the economy basically stops and the Great Depression is on our heels, but is it too much to ask everyone to CALM DOWN? Breathe-walk (don't run) and remember that the Holidays are here to promote, Peace, Love and Joy to the World. Is that too much to ask? (Don't answer, it's one of those rhetorical questions.)
Well if it is, then let's move on to another "theory" that was built to unite, but all it does is divide. Organized Religion. I swear, there is nothing more strange on this planet than the concept of "one love" producing genocide.
That's all I have to say on that. If no religion, no culture, no country has figured it out this far into the human existence, then I say...pack it in and pack it up. Sit down, crack open a beer and wait until Global Warming becomes more of a reality and we're all screwed! Then we'll see who is right :)
Salute! and Cheers!
