realthogThe BBC reports what has to be one of the most repulsive stories around at the moment. Here's the start of it:
US stores lure hard-up shoppers
US stores have opened early and offered steep discounts to encourage consumers to part with their cash as the Christmas shopping season kicks off.
Crowds of shoppers turned up at dawn to snare the best deals.
A worker died and at least three people were injured after being trampled by a crowd of shoppers at a Wal-Mart in the New York suburbs.
Season of greed, more like -- pure, unadulterated, and now murderous. And people ask me why I loathe Christmas so much . . .

Poor Pam, she just doesn't get it, does she? haha
And I so agree about the greed being so repulsive. My God, someone DIED because of it. Horrifying.
sorry for rambling!
