Thoughts on Buy Nothing Day

After seeing the promotion for buy nothing day i thought to myself would people actually consider doing something like that? i know if ihad moneyfor the most recent black-friday, i wouldnt have followed on it. Knowing how americans are, especially New Yorkers, most of us will taakke advantaage of a good sale over a nice day out anyday. I tried to take a second and picture whatthe world would look like if absolutely everyone decided not to make one single purchase, and i couldnt do it. i didnt ake advantage of any sales this year, im sure if i had the money i would have, but when i heard abt the whole wal-mart incident after the day was done with, it seemed kind of typical and expecting. On thanksgiving day, just before, i was watching a countdown of 50 most outrageous shopping moments, and saw footage clips of many similar experiences as to what happend on this years black-friday. i jumped to the countdown kinda late but when i did catch it on, it was funny now that i think abt it, there were so many wal-marts in other states that had fights or wreckless endangerment due to those sales. Some that never even made it out the lobby. i thught that was funny seeing how someone can wait all these hours outside of a convenient store just to get into a physical fight just once u step foot into the lobby. there were also police present, right in the lobby but they just stood and watched, also have being caught on footage. There were a couple best-buy incidents here or there too.
