second most lucrative holiday next to Christmas- raking in billions of dollars every year-

while we have people who are out of work, homeless and starving....... nice.

i used to love halloween- now i can only stand but few holidays- i celebrate very differently these days.....

I like this. Actually, Halloween is spreading all over Europe. In Hungary we have it now as well, though no trick or treating, mostly just parties and such. Last year a colleague of mine handed out really small pumpkins. They were cute.

I dig the quote he gives at the end there. Tell that to all the faux spiritualist Christians you encounter who are against trick 'r treats.
