Black Friday

I heard some disappointing and disturbing news from several local people that our community's recent Black Friday post-Thanksgiving holiday shopping was disrupted by rude, desperate people grabbing, pulling and displaying all kinds of rude behavior, all in the pursuit of purchasing gifts to give others for the holidays.  Now what does that say about the spirit of the season?  You always see television news stories about bad shopping behavior on Black Friday, but since when has it arrived in our little bucolic Baraboo?  Bah, humbug.  In my viewpoint, there's no excuse, no room for pushing and shoving on Black Friday or otherwise.  'Tis the season to bring out the best sides of ourselves and to have a grateful, generous and kind heart.  Let there be peace on Earth and in the shopping aisle.
