This story is one that could be used to say quite a lot. And indeed is in this article, but comparing it to Guernica in the headline? A little excessive methinks.
It was a tragedy, yet it did not feel like an accident. All those
people were there, lined up in the cold and darkness, because of
sophisticated marketing forces that have produced this day now called
Black Friday. They were engaging in early-morning shopping as contact
sport. American business has long excelled at creating a sense of
shortage amid abundance, an anxiety that one must act now or miss out.
