I just heard on CNN (over lunch) that a Wal-mart employee was trampled to death this morning by shoppers (good morning, Wal-Mart shoppers!) eager to buy those elusive early-bird bargains (you know, the ones that say "guaranteed five per store, no rainchecks, first come, frist served").
This is just another example of a society that extols the virtues of greed (and saving a buck) over all else. Read Mark Rhodes' blog for more on the direction our modern society has erred into:
