Imagine you are responsible for managing a family of six on a 60 thousand dollar a year budget. Could you under normal circumstances ever afford that sweet new 400 dollar Panasonic DVD player with the disc changing remote control? No, not if you plan on feeding your children anything but catsup for the next month. One Wall Mart part-time employee (who for all we know dealt drugs to children) is dead, but thousands got a the last season of "Friends" 40% off. This year I'm grateful that, despite economic reports to the contrary, the American consumer is patriotic enough to take a life if it enables her to own more shit.
