So I’m watching the morning news on KCCI channel 8 yesterday (Wednesday), and the weatherman Kurtis Gertz goes, “Coming up next, your Black Friday forecast!”. We live in a sick world.

This morning the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was on. It laid the groundwork for this sickness. It was the infection that got worse. Inflatable cartoon figures and sweatshop made garments is what Thanksgiving is all about the TV parade hosts have told us for decades now.

Your life will be incomplete if you don’t spend yourself into oblivion, they would have you believe. Life as we know it will end if you don’t go stand inline tomorrow to buy Chinese plastic! You have to have it! (Whatever it is!) Without the “hot” new piece of plastic, your life is ruined!

It has gotten so bad, that the actual day of Thanksgiving, is an afterthought! The ONLY thing that matters is giving your money to the corporate altar. Worshipping consumerism. Thanking the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost for your health, comforts, family and friends, does not benefit corporations. Long live stupidity.
