What economic crisis?

So yes, another Black Friday has passed. The day of crazy sales and trampling others to get your hands on a new laptop is over. It seems that Black Friday is immune to everything around us. We are going through tough economic times and still Black Friday had people eating their Thanksgiving dinner outside of Best Buy. Sure, the deals are good, but what is really more important to us; Thanksgiving or Black Friday. Is Thanksgiving the day before Black Friday or is Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving. Ask yourself that. It depends on one’s perspective.

Kid's Opinions The Best of Them All

This is a blog by a kid. Over the years, kid’s opinions aren’t really considered too often. They are simply dismissed by those who think highly of themselves who can’t consider opinions of anyone else, let alone people much younger than them. I remember when I was young, very young, maybe around, lets say four. I would watch the news, no news in particular, and the anchor would be interviewing a person. The anchor would ask a simple, basic question, even say, a yes or no question to just wrap things up, and he or she would ask say, “Do you want a position in the cabinet of the new administration.” And the person would give an answer, far off, not reasonable, and the anchor would be fine with it. This is not alright. No direct answer was given, and the anchor is perfectly okay with this. Does anybody seem to notice this? Does it seem that maybe the smartest people among us might be four year olds? Well, whether it’s a four year old, a twelve year old, or even a sixteen year old, views from the not-yet-adults matter.
