Boxing Day
By the way and apropos of absolutely nothing, I caught a few moments of the late night news on two local television channels.
Both carried stories about all the lovely people who lined up at midnight on a cold, snowy Christmas night and waited until the stores opened to buy handbags or whatever at Boxing Day sale prices.
Are there folks anywhere on earth dumber, more pitiable than these?
Outside of Fendi or D&G, do these sorry excuses have a life?
This is what universal education hath wrought?
Yikes.
Back to my tree.

Nutbars, the lot of them. In the olden days, Boxing day was a holiday and no stores opened. But the great consumer god said:
"Hark, the lord of the chain stores commandeth you to spend and spend more on cheap trinkets that are not really marked down at all. Lo, the almighty economy demands you to spend, until you can spend no more."
The Boxing day sales are a fraud, hyped by the media which has nothing else to report on.
May Boxing day return to what it was meant to be, a holiday.
"This is what universal education hath wrought?"
Well, its what you get with state schools run by a militant trade union.
