Let's Not Kill Anyone Shall We?

I find it rather upsetting that, every year on black friday, someone gets killed, usually at a Wal-Mart, because of senseless morons rushing into a store for some material item that will be forgotten about within a month or so.
     People are getting injured, getting into fights and even getting killed becuase they want to be the first ones in the store to 'get the deals...'
    Yes, I am going to go all cliche on everyone here: what happened to Christmas being about family and friends? Now, this sorry excuse for a society has turned Christmas into a 'keeping up with the Jones' charade where getting the right gift for someone is more important than just seeing that someone on Christmas.  Who cares about getting stuff on Christmas?  That's not what it is about.  Let's stop killing people just so you can save 50 dollars on the lowest quality electronic gadget that will be out of date before you even get it out of the store. 
    Wal-Mart and other such stores that feed into this kind of behavior should be under strict regulations.  Obviously people are going to be stupid and run around the stores like a maniac looking for the best deals, but let's try to come up with some way to control those maniacs.  Maybe put a leash on them or make someone follow them around with a taser.  Some people can just be so oblivious to their moronic behavior sometimes.
    Also, I believe that the companies making these electronic gadgets...AHEM Nintendo, that say they will no be able to have enough of the product...AHEM Wii, to meet the demands of the crazed public, should stop lying to everyone and assuming that absolutely everyone is a moron.  Granted there are quite a few morons out there.  However, we all know that there has been a warehouse slap full of nintendo Wii's since before they came out.  Obviously, you could send out more to your distributors so that these morons that don't have any self control over themselves on black friday don't kill anyone.  But, I guess that would mean you may have to wait an extra year to get that new yacht.
    So, since the money hungry, whore mongering imbecils that oversee these types of companies aren't going to do anything to help control the morons, then maybe we should try to use our common sense this year and not go crazy over some material item that has no real value in life any way.  For all of those people that are tired of seeing the senselessness of black friday get out of hand, if you happen to be out and about on friday and see one of the morons, do us all a favor and slap them in the face.  Back handed or front handed, it doesn't really matter.

   Now that my random, and probably hard to follow, ranting is over... I would like to wish everyone out there, even the morons, a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe black friday.  Let's not kill anyone shall we?
