HOORAY FOR HALLOWE'EN...BEING OVER

How I dislike Halloween. I understand the the concept, the "fun", etc., but I'm one of those who doesn't like being told what to like and when and how. I insist on not celebrating sweetest day, Valentine's day (which BTW, used to be preceded by a ST.), grandparents' day, etc. However, Christmas, Easter and Independence Day (U.S.) are big on my list, but only if their original intents are emphasized, not their commercialized, secularized versions. My older daughter made an interesting observation of her neighborhood stating that the same big way celebrants of Halloween allow Christmas to pass with barely a christian decoration (most people do not realize that the tree is a christian symbol).

So, one can imagine my feelings regarding unconstitutionally forced compliance to insurance coverage, auto or health and worse, unconstitutionally forced support of same for people who are able to afford, but refuse to obtain the coverage for their families. Or how about forced increases in utility bills to save Polar Bears multiplying like houseflies just to make former bad vice presidents multi billionaires who are currently mega millionaires.
Or, how about being told what news to watch, what radio to listen to or what newspapers to read after all of these entities have been granted the proper credential's just to listen to the idiot of a press secretary the President has appointed to dole out the "news" of the day.

Be afraid, be very afraid (but mostly, be watchful and speak out!).
