Unintended Consequences

Sometimes intentions are are not enough... one must review the results of an action to see if it turned out as planned.

Black Friday shopping frenzy
Black Friday is intended to be attractive to shoppers.   During this period I stay away from stores, have the mute button ready to cancel the commercials , my mouse ready to close abrasive internet offers.  Normal shopping becomes impossible.   I find this craziness a blot on civility.  The word " Inconvience " occurs to me.
This period of craziness seems to lengthen every year and involve more hysterical behaviour every year.  I believe it is evidence of how little respect retailers have for consumers.   Why are prices ( supposedly ) lower at this time of year ?  It sounds like a scam to me. 


Thanksgiving stupidity
Thanksgiving is hyped up by so many different groups.... rational thought goes out the window.
#1   Must travel on airplanes.  
#2   Must have energy sapping social get-togethers.
#3   Must turn urban centers into crazy quilt ghost-towns.
#4   Must pretend there is some kind of Thanksgiving spirit,
#5   XMAS lites may now be set up.
