(CNN) -- Violence marred Black Friday shopping in at least five states, including a California incident in which police say a woman doused fellow shoppers with pepper spray in a bid to cut to the head of the line.
Ahh yes. Peace on Earth, good will towards men. But I don't believe that Christmas ever meant doing whatever it takes to grab your material things at Wal-Mart before someone else does. Amid all the mayhem there is a story about the birth of Christ and what it means to humanity. But I guess that just got lost in all the commericals, sitcoms, reality TV shows, and all the rest of the pomp and glitter of a holiday season that was sold out to corporate interests many years ago. Yes, Christmas DOES have 2 esses, and they are both dollar signs. When Christ returns, there is no doubt that he will do to this glaring display of materialism what he did to the money changers in the temple. The pepper spraying mentioned in the quote is only one symptom of the disease.
