Black Friday

Once a year, folks from all over North America descend upon the Malls. They come prepared to do battle; pumped up on caffeine, high on hope, they stand in line for hours.
The doors open; they charge to their pre-assigned stations. They grab, they push, and they make their way to another line for a couple more hours before they hurry home.

A month later, they receive an envelope in the mail that calls their attention to a minimum payment, for purchases they don’t really need, and for stuff they cannot afford.

Hence unfolds the circle of life that is called the American Dream.

Have we not learned anything from the recent recession? Have we so quickly forgotten the horrors of foreclosures and bankruptcies?
As they say; “History teaches us that man learns nothing from history!”
