A conversation overhead at my office:
1st woman (proudly): I stood in line outside Wal-Mart for over 2 1/2 hours in freezing weather!
2nd woman (admiringly): That's amazing! There's no way I could've done that.
I felt like telling the 2nd woman that the reason she couldn't have done that is because she's sane. Even more so considering that I've heard there was a brawl at that Wal-Mart in (where else?) the electronics department.
An acquaintance of mine's Facebook status reads, "everyone who shopped early today deserves all the crap they put up with."
I couldn't agree with him more.
People think sports fans are deranged fanatics. But I'd feel safer around Italian soccer hooligans than Christmas shoppers.
Update: The Season of Peace began badly for one Wal-Mart worker in Long Island who was trampled to death by a rampaging herd of lunatics released for the day from their cages. A tragedy in any context, but even more so considering the scenario.

I wonder how many of these lunatics go and vote on Election Day. The fewer, the better.
