Follow-up: As the work more clearly emerges as sidewalks, it looks like a vast improvement. Hope it eventually takes over both sides of Scott. Could go a long way to making it more walkable. It’s amazing how just some extra concrete changes the walkability.

Please go back and reread my post. My venom is not toward DEM; it’s toward those who ARE judging.

DEM proclaimed indifference, not judgement. Your venom is mis-directed.

I happen to concur with DEM – If people find joy or value in the hunt on Black Friday – good for them. None of my concern.

I prefer to stay far away from the traffic and crowds to spend time with family, football, food, fire and bourbon.

To be fair, it’s not hypocrisy if you don’t pretend to care in the first place.

Wait, seriously? You really don’t want to spend your Thanksgiving judging others? But isn’t that what we do here? You know, where we pretend to care about those who may need to take advantage of Black Friday sales, but we secretly despise them for that need? Shame on you, DEM.

Whenever I read comments like some of those above, I can’t help but think of what Ambrose Bierce said. “Hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo.”
