Walmart poorly plans the event. They do a top job of advertising to get people there, but they drop the ball when it comes to how they choose to open and award the top black friday deals of the season. If you had read all my posts, you would understand how Circuit City does it in comparison to Walmart. Since the first to arrive at the item gets it, the crowd in this case didn't even wait for the guy to finish opening the door and tore the door off its hinges. The first ones knocked him off his feet, and the hundreds behind them stepped on him.

Yes, people kill for money, they do it everyday. I know the crowd didn't go there with the intention of killing the guy, but it happened, and when that big crowd of 2,000 strong started pushing foward when they saw people going in, there was no stopping, the ones in the front were pushed foward from behind and right over the man that had fallen on the floor, it was a big adrenaline rush that ended in disaster.

Doorbusters at Walmart are nothing new, and they know that people can get hurt with the way they do it. Yes, it was Walmart's fault because they didn't do better planning and people get hurt every year. It's pretty much like the running of the bulls.

Ok, so TV's and Cameras don't interest you, well lets just pretend John Deere decided to sell a few brand new big tractors on black friday for 25% of their regular price. How many of you guys would line up for days for that? How many of you would run as fast as you could through a store for a legitimate chance to own a brand new tractor for almost nothing? Next question is, how many of you actually need another tractor? Some do and some don't, same with the people lined up for the stuff at Walmart.

See, city people have no use for tractors, and love electronics as much as you love your tractors. Its all perception. City people can't understand the obsession with tractors anymore than some of you can't understand people's obsessions with video games. If your life consisted of living in a small apartment and working in an office cubicle, then you might be more into electronics than the man who has a back fourty.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
