The Final Word by Jim Thompson


By the way, I can become upset about some of the greed that goes along with capitalism. This past Friday morning, on Long Island, New York, a contract worker at a Walmart store was trampled to death as shoppers rushed the store for the bargains available for what has become known as “Black Friday” here in the United States (“Black Friday” is the day after U.S. Thanksgiving and marks the start of the Christmas shopping season). Personally, I would arrest the whole crowd outside that store for manslaughter. Such an act is abhorrent and ridiculous.
