insanity. I strongly agree with Leonard’s arguments from “Black Friday: Consumerism Minus Civilization,” that it is time to take back Thanksgiving and end the craziness. First of all, Leonard points out that marketing and consumers have become out of control with all of the Black Friday sales. He gives examples of advertisements that are out of control. For example, “after the perky Stepford-wife shopper sings joyfully about how she’s ‘been in line since yesterday’ and how everybody’s going to

pro-lifers were so supportive of life and having the right to live, would you think that most should be against capital punishment? Unfortunately, most of them are not. Gallup released a statement to the Death Penalty Information Center claiming that 60% of Americans believe that the death penalty should be inflicted on dangerous criminals (Gallup Poll: Support for Death Penalty at Lowest Level Since 1972). Even though I agree that criminal law should be enforced to the max, and some convicted criminals

title, accomplished it all in a 73-win record breaking season for the Golden State Warriors. He has yet to bring that into the NBA Finals.

A lot of times young men will go seeking activities that they see as fun and exciting, however others think that they are dangerous.

Therefore we always want to be better than one

“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity." Have you ever heard people talk about the things they would do if they won the lottery, and yet a large percentage of these people never go out and buy a ticket.

This is the scenario that came to mind when I first read the quote “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity”. However, the
