Digital Globe / Reuters
The Mall of Georgia shopping center in Buford, Georgia, is pictured in this satellite image taken on Black Friday, November 28, 2009, and obtained on November 24, 2010. More Americans will be out shopping this year on Black Friday -- or at least that's how it looks from outer space. Satellite images from Remote Sensing Metrics show more cars parked outside shopping malls across the country in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving and increasingly crowded parking lots usually mean higher sales.

The people recognize themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobile, hi-fi set, split-level home, kitchen equipment.
Herbert Marcuse
When we try in good faith to believe in materialism, in the exclusive reality of the physical, we are asking our selves to step aside; we are disavowing the very realm where we exist and where all things precious are kept -- the realm of emotion and conscience, of memory and intention and sensation.
John Updike
“The best things in life aren't things.”
