What do you expect from a society that places ultra-consumerism, fueled by greed and self indulgence, on such a high pedestal. In my earlier post, the one about people flying planes into our buildings, I was talking about how these types of things must look to eastern and particularly ''radical'' countries, or at least countries where radicals seem to gather. From a religious stand-point, the ''meaning'' of christmas for the majority of people that practice it is lost and forgotten during the actual holiday season, perfectly signified by what happened at Wal-Mart and Toys R Us.
