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.

Wait--did I miss something? Are you saying that the government gives
out the candy? That's the only way I can make it work out to
socialism.

Otherwise, it's a completely free transaction. The kids "earn" the
candy by
wearing costumes and walking around the neighborhood.

I got the same as the last 4 or 5 years, none. I'm out in a very rural
area, most homes are on 3 to 7+ acres, sometimes also separated by cow
pastures. My driveway is 1/10 mile long and one hell of a workout to
walk up.

Now you made me hungry.
