It’s the day after Turkey Day ’n I’m still a little full of m’self…

There are people that’ll tell you that I’ve been full of m’self for years ’n years but we’ll just let that pass…

Not much in The Nooze this day…this so-called ‘Black Friday’ when people rush the stores to fight ’n squabble over tinsel ’n glitter…

We Americans seem always to want more…It's probably not entirely an American thing, y’understand, it’s just that we seem to be so good at wanting more…we already seem to have more than almost everyone else in the world ’n for some reason, it ain’t enough…can’t quite figure that out but then I’ve always been a little slow that-a-way…sometimes I’ll wake up in the middle of the night laughing because I just got the joke that was told earlier in the evening…

Anyway, the unbridaled shopping seems to have a violent edge to it that has at least slowed down the protestors…or perhaps, they’re all fighting to get their piece of the Black Friday goodies bag...

And speaking of protestors, I’m  just plain tired of 'em…really, really tired of ‘em.  And how come it just seems to be only black protests…Oh sure, there are whites mixed in with them, at least in the ones that get televised…

I’m kind’a wondering if it’s always the same group of people who just travel around the country protesting…

Wonder what they get paid for being a ‘professional’ protestor?  Is it part-time only or do they have full time positions? Do they get a bonus when for doing something so outrageous that it gets more‘face-time’ on television?  Do they get paid extra for breaking and entering on live television?  Do they get to keep the merchandise they steal or do they have to give it back at the end of the demonstration? Just some of the questions that I'd ask before I'd fill out an application...

I know it isn’a ‘only’ just the blacks…but you hardly ever see or hear about Asians or Mexicans involved in these things…and the poor Indians, the ones who insist on being called ‘Native Americans’ as though they’re the only people born on this continent…Heck!  I’m a native American…so is everyone else who was born here…along with all those Canadians…they’re native Americans also…and we shouldn’t forget those millions born South of the border…they’re native Americans also…wouldn’t it be a hoot if they had a ‘Native American Day’ and…well, Hellfire ’n Damnation, I suppose every day is really native American day ’n most of us are too darn busy to celebrate…

I don’t suppose the stores ‘ud go for it anyway…ain’t like they could have gigantic sales every day of the year…nothing special about that…they’d have to come up with Extra-Special Day Sales Events to generate interest…

They didn’t do such things when I was a boy…the stores had a hard time coming up with enough merchandise to stock their shelves…some merchants would hold back stuff for their favored customers in those long-ago days when there was more demand than supply…

Of course, there was the excuse that there was a war going on and stuff was rationed…stuff like sugar and oils and…well, just damn near ever’thing that a body could think of…don’t know how we managed to get by, let alone be happy without all the stuff that we have today…

The protestors of this era have a lot of ‘stuff’…they all seem to have Smart phones with cameras so that they can film all the abuse they suffer at the hands of the police (film at eleven, y’know)…and they all have big screen teevees, or seem to, I don’t really know…

I don’t have a big screen television m’self but that’s a personal choice…I don’t really care a lot for television…I blame it on my Mother ‘cause she taught me to read at an early age ’n I’d still rather read a book, a real book rather than watch television…It ain’t that I don’t enjoy some of the stuff they show, I do, I like to sit with Millyrose in the evening and watch sitcoms and shoot’em ups ’n mysteries…some of the mysteries are a mystery as to how they got televised in the first place but that’s, as they say, another story…

I don’t know if I’ve said anything in the preceding dialogue but I certainly hope so and if you were offended, please let me know so that perhaps I’ll be able to offend you again in the future…my hope is to please, y’know…or maybe you don’t know…possibly you’ll take offence at that…one can only hope...
