The most cynical among us say...."First we get our food fix on Thanksgiving Day and then Second we get our shopping fix on Black Friday." Big Business always knows how to covert the Holy-Days in holiday madness and rush. There is quite a contrast isn't there between Black Friday and Good Friday--which big business has never been able to pervert. Oh, it wraps Easter up in sales as well--but not Good Friday. Exactly what do you do with a Holy-Day with a death at its center? One sells life in commodity--the grand illusion that we are what we buy. The other is that life comes by giving life away. How will you spend Black Friday giving life away rather than "getting and spending we lay waste our powers?"
