November 24, 2012: "Small Business Saturday"
"Small Business Saturday" will be observed on November 24 . . . . .
It's a day between “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday”
dedicated to supporting small businesses in your community . . . . . .
Now “Small Business Saturday” sounds sensible . . . . .
something to be supported . . . .
It is very much in keeping with the
Catholic teaching of subsidiarity . . .
. .
This tenet holds that nothing should be
done by a larger and more complex organization which can be done as well by a
smaller and simpler organization . . . . . .
smaller and simpler is definitely better
. . . . .
“Small Business Saturday” is sandwiched in-between the mammoth monstrosities
of “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” . . . . . .
Find a small business store in town and buy something there that you would
otherwise need to get at a conglomerate . . . . .
Shop downtown . . . .
Find a small, mom and pop, neighborhood store . . . .
Support “Small Business Saturday” . . . .
Make a local entrepreneur’s day . . . . .
