I will say in those days it was easy to get a mob of kids and go do something. Not as easy today. I guess many parents today don't like the idea of their one and only child cavorting outside by him or herself or with just one other friend.

Nevertheless, I can distinctly remember going many blocks from home on Halloween when I was four only accompanied by my brother who was a few years older. Nobody thought anything of it.

7 of us walked 6 blocks from our upper middle class neighborhood to the upper class neighborhood at Halloween because we heard they had great candy. One Halloween, I was dressed as the ‘Frito bandito’ and two people up in that neighborhood thought it was wrong. My first taste of Liberalism and PC. I was 9.
