Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday? Now this is confusing. What the heck is a Cyber Monday? I gather by the two articles that I have read in the newspapers the past couple of days that Cyber Monday is a new holiday that has been invented maybe this year to encourage shoppers and consumers to buy, buy, buy, and spend, spend, spend, and go in debt more, more, more for a longer, longer, longer amount of time over the holidays. First there is Thanksgiving day I guess to usher in the shop more season. And is this holiday season about the holidays and peace on earth, or are the holidays about shopping, shopping, shopping or both. And then there is the day after Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, and what is Black Friday, the buy everything you can at a discount rate day after the Thanksgiving Day holiday. And what about buy nothing day, that day to buy nothing day after thanksgiving day. And what about over consumption and the environment. And now web 2.0 cyber go online shopping and buy everything you can Monday? What's that all about? What's next in the consume everything you can at a bargain rate holiday world. Is there something in the works for buy everything you can Tuesday, or buy everything you can month or year. Or does that holiday already exist. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?
