I'm not afraid of "tainted candy".

Bump for common sense. I did a NEXIS search a couple of years ago, just to see if there was some real basis for the annual Halloween candy paranoia that strikes parents. Bottom line - in the last 30 years, I found one case of tainted Halloween candy causing injury to a child.

And guess what? That one case was a guy (in Houston, IIRC) who tried to poison his own kids and pin it on crazed candy-poisoning maniacs...

Get out and let the kids have fun, folks...

I agree. I flatly REFUSE to let these terrorists win by changing my lifestyle even a little bit.

We'll do the trick or treat thing like we have every year for the past 20 with our children.

PS: Do parents who were allowed to celebrate Halloween really not let their kiddos have some fun? Sorta a "do as I say, don't do as I do" attitude IMHO. Do they really think that God would penalize a child for something like that? The God that I worship wouldn't.
