Frakked Up Priorities
I don't believe there are words that can express my deep dismay and disappointment in the American public to learn that there was public disorder, crime, and re-sale for obscene amounts of money when the PlayStation 3 went on sale today. When there are so many needs being unmet in so many places, including here at home, it says something profoundly sad about our society that people are willing to stand on line for days on end to buy a simple toy for their family, stand on line for days on end to re-sell it for $2500, pay $2500 a piece for a simple toy, push and shove and beat up people for a simple toy, and rob people who have been standing on line for days. Is there any wonder why people hate the U.S.? I feel slimy being an American right now, and I didn't stand on line and would never stand on line for a toy. My kids, when I have them, can live without it. When they ask why, I will tell them this story and tell them that a PlayStation 3 isn't important in the larger scheme of things.
