Would have been more effective if Freud, Jung, and Lacan were philosophers and not psychologists...

And thank you Brad, I can login nows 
"Now" is not a word that can be pluralized... "Film" can be, but not in that context. I'm confused; please elaborate.
It's how I speak. I add 's' onto a lot of things that arent really supposed to have it there.
why
You forgot the question mark.

Ugh, that is horrible. I really do not understand how people can can have such zeal to save money that they would crush someones body in pursuit of their frivolous objective (in comparison to the mans life, at the very least). Sickening.
I find it pretty funny that people are freaking out about this.
Seriously it seems like for as long as I can remember someone has died on Black Friday by being trampled. Why is this particular occurrence such a sensation?
I mean yeah its terrible that it happened, but its not the first time and it certainly won't be the last.

That is what makes it all the more sickening, for me at least.
I don't think being apathetic helps though.
While this is terrible, I think it is more infact disgusting (carp) though, look at what has been happeing in Mumbai.
oh: kei put it well
Well I'm not saying its ok, because it isn't.
I just think its strange that this one particular case is getting so much attention over the hundreds of other incidents.
probably because they kept the carp store open
Yeah that's pretty carp up.

Excellent summarization.
The issue here is that mob mindset is very different than individual mindset. I imagine it's fairly unlikely any individual in that press considered sales more important than someone's actual life. Where it gets complicated is the social gestalt that occurs in times of panic and stress. It's very similar, neurologically, to what occurs in a herd of prey animals when a predator is detected. It's essentially a modern extension of the limbic brain's drive to push forward through the crowd and get to the front. The reversal is that in this situation, the drive is to be the first to get TO something, instead of the first to get AWAY. What starts as a man or woman leaving home early to save a few bucks on something quickly becomes a pack of thirsty hyenas fighting for the waterhole in the Savannah.
