This is my only thought on the whole subject. I really don't like strangers leaving flyers at my house, period. If they really want to get in touch with me, then they can send it snail mail. That way, no one is on my property.
Now, I don't like flyers, but I don't do anything about them. If I saw the person passing out the flyers, I would politely ask them not to. I also might even call up the church and ask them not to leave flyers on my door.
The article is not complaining about 'flyers' in general. It is complaining about certain ideas expressed on the flyer which say Halloween is evil. The ridiculous thing is how some people try to act like this view against Halloween is new, or suddenly extreme. Differing views have been around as long as anyone can remember and no one ran to the authorities and whined, we just ignored it.
I ignore most flyers that come to my house and I don't look for some way to feel 'threatened' just so I can justify going to authorities. So much ridiculous whining.
