Items on sale at the Valley Stream Wal-Mart included a Samsung 50-inch 
Plasma HDTV for $798, a Bissel Compact Upright Vacuum for $28, a Samsung 
10.2 megapixel digital camera for $69 and DVDs such as "The Incredible Hulk" 
for $9.

Not that that excuses anything, but it *was* a pretty serious sale.  I'm not 
surprised there were so many people there, but i'm rather surprised at their 
callousness.

They had a similar problem in (I think) the 70s (or early 80s?) at a Who 
concert, where a dozen people or so got crushed against the doors while 
waiting to get in, after which the city instituted rules against open 
seating at concerts or some such. (You could probably find the details with 
enough googling, but more recent events are overshadowing the obvious terms. :-)

   The NFL should go international. I'd pay to
   see the Detroit Lions vs the Roman Catholics.
