It saddens me to see all this acrimony between us Freepers. Sure, nurses and firemen have to work 365 days a year. They knew it coming in. But retail? Come on! In this country Thanksgiving was copied from Europe-celebrating the end of the harvest. It’s beautiful(to me). The fact that employers will try to one-up each other by moving Black Friday to a holiday would suggest that the ultimate form of capitalism is the ability to OWN another human being.
This is when people start turning to the government. If adults could solve this issue there would be no need for Democrats.
In Japan there is a time at the end of the year when the entire country shuts down. No one would accuse them of being lazy. 3 NFL games on Thanksgiving? It’s a distraction when we should be enjoying our family company. There are more important things than making a buck and I think that one or 2 days a year we should all take the time to agknowlege it-mandated if that is ones choice.
