Buy Nothing Today (and avoid injury)
Earlier this week, Nathan wrote about the Adbusters’ Buy Nothing Day. If that didn’t convince you to stay home from the mall today, this might:
Things got out of hand at a Wal-Mart store at 11250 East Colonial Drive at Rouse Lake in Orlando, where a man who allegedly cut in line to get a discounted laptop computer was wrestled to the ground, according to a video shown by an ABC affiliate, WFTV-TV. Via Orlando Sentinel.
Sadly, I think incindences like this are fairly common. On the news today I saw masses of people rushing into a Wal-Mart when it opened (at about 6am!). There were so many people pushing that people were falling over and getting stepped on!
So listen to Nathan and Adbusters and stay home today!

Comments are sorta kinda broken right now. We're working on it but to save energy can only work in daytime when solar system is at peak performance.
