A nice tradition-of-the-moment, Black Friday that is. Surprised though that those who identify as African American don’t protest. Maybe take a knee at the checkout stand while buying a big screen tv for $20 at the local WalMart.

Interesting how there is violence associated with Black Friday in the larger cities. Not so at smaller communities.

For example,today I went and enjoyed Black Friday in a small city going by the name of Lewiston and Clarkston. Lots of stuff on sale, not many shoppers, and peaceful. Nobody lighting someone on fire or shooting someone for the right to buy an electronic appliance.

Some people complain about capitalism or consumerism but usually it is those same people who get money from the government or are some trust-fund baby, never needing to actually work.

So, from one who actually works for a  living it was a joy to be able to purchase tools cheaply today. Even scored a brand new pair of Sorel Caribou winter boots for $21.

Good job America. I applaud the idea of Black Friday and enjoyed today’s experience. Everyone’s mood seemed upbeat and the kids in tow of their parents were truly excited when perusing the toys on sale.

For those slobs who take a knee for the national anthem or those who deride Black Friday for being geared towards capitalism or whatever is the trigger-word of the moment to protest, I say, too bad so sad, it still is a free country (or close, today some of it was over %90 off!)
