I agree. It's a socialist's holiday if there ever was one. I used to
get insulted when we got turned away as kids. Now there are too many
crazys to be knocking on anyone's door.
I was out of town for 6 months and got back the day before halloween.
I close my shutters before I go away. So, they all knew I was gone and
for how long. My lights were out and 2 of them still knocked. Buying
candy is not high on my list after driving 1200 miles.
They should all go to a controlled enviroment like you said.
