One of the few things crazier than sitting in line on Thanksgiving is taking time to go out on Thanksgiving and ridicule them.
This all gets over blown in my opinion.
Personally, I enjoy Thanksgiving with family and friends. I do not go shopping on Black Friday. I do not go shopping the evening of Thanksgiving.
But I don’t want to pass laws or discourage anyone from shopping.
Some employees actually like to work on Thanksgiving or other holidays, because of getting overtime pay.
If a business can make money opening on Thanksgiving, it should be their choice, in my opinion.
On the other hand, if nobody shows up to shop Thanksgiving evening or in the wee hours of Black Friday morning, retailers would not be opening up.
We have enough busy bodies in our lives, without having busy bodies telling us when to go shopping.
I’ll bet the lines are smaller this year though. Most of the Black Friday crowd is probably camping out outside some theater waiting to see the new Stars Wars movie next month. It isn’t hard to see how Barack Hussein Obama could be elected twice.
