You're never going to convince enough people to boycott "Black Friday", to effect change of any significant degree. As long as people are willing to get out of thier warm beds, at 3:00 in the morning, to go stand in line at Walmart, to save a couple of bucks, it's never going to happen. Far too many people see it as some sort of...sport.
I, for one, would much rather see people boycott retail stores that are open on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Call me old fashioned ('cause I am), but I see absolutely no reason for anyone to have to go to Walmart on Thanksgiving day. That just strikes me as pathetic.
You want to close your wallet? Do so on an actual holiday, and send a larger message.
