Because, Farmer, that does not make sense.
People here took advantage by going out for several weeks so all of local municipalities made one night for trick or treating. It's the last Thursday of the month before Halloween regardless of the date in our city. Other cities have it on different nights so kids can go more than once but not back to the same houses.
I was sick and didn't have the light on tonight but I talked to my neighbor and we only got three kids so I wasted my money on the treats I bought.
Anyway since there were so many kids injured with tainted treats the fire houses and churches have parties and hand out candy so most people take their kids there now instead of going door to door.

How does trick or treating ON Halloween not make sense? Do you celebrate the other holidays at odd times of the week before the actual holliday?

In case you hadn't noticed the federal government moved almost all holidays to Monday. How is that any different?
I thought I explained it. By having one trick or treat night in each area people don't get visitors for two weeks.
Besides trick or treat is hard to do on certain days of the week because of other activities like high school football which is very big around here..

I have all kinds of treats I bought but only three kids came up our street. I guess they all went to the Fire Hall. Now I have to figure out what to do with all that stuff.
And you live too far away to come to my door. mockery-035

My heart is very heavy today. What has happened to our state and our country?
A nutcase attacks Jewish people as they worship. 11 are killed including two brothers with disabilities. 6 officers are injured. The victims ranged in age between 54 and 97.
And then a woman trying to avoid police, clips the back of a school bus and then hits seven other cars, killing two teens. She is still on the run. At 63 years old, shouldn't she know better? Does she really believe she won't be caught?
And then we have the people in power who are trying to divide the citizens.
Where does this all end?

When humanity is extinct.
How very sad. In ancient times even kings and empowers respected the sanctity and protection of the church. Now churches seem to be the target of choice for adult gunmen to shoot up. Schools for children to shoot up.
And I agree. The leader of our country seems to think violence against others is completely acceptable. Until it is threatened or brought upon one if his financial supporters. Only then is violence and bullying unacceptable
Just me Or it's that just completely wrong?

I agree, it’s wrong and innocent people getting killed and hurt, my cousin got shot twice Saturday so he’s lucky to be alive, got off work and was heading to his mom house to see how she’s doing, he got out his car and two men approached him, one pull out his gun and shot him, and they ran so he managed to walk to his mom building then he passed out, but the guard knew him from visiting and call the ambulance, and call up to his mom Apt his brother came down, cause his mom is in a wheelchair and he rode to the hospital with him

How awful. That's the second time recently your family had to experience gun violence by some idiot.
Farmer, sadly, you are right. This President seems to only care about his fortune and not any human being. And he has a lot of legislators just like him.
I have never heard of a President who slams veterans, the disabled, takes away the benefits of the poor, and praises foreign dictators. The sad part is the people did not elect him. Does that mean he will be in for a second term? Can we survive it? crazy22
Did you see how much money the NRA has paid him? others-221

I'm so sorry for what your family has gone through. I can't even imagine having to live in a place where there is so much violence. When are people going to start thinking about the feelings of others? Selfishness is the cause of most every problem that exists for society

Makes me even more happy to live way out here. Closest city of any size is springfield.75 miles or so.bout a hundred thousand people. Local news sounds like chicago. Shootings,car jackings,stabbings every day. Seems to me that anyplace with a population of any size is like mad max style living,just on a lesser scale. I feel safe right where I am.dont even need a bullet proof jacket or bomb proof armor like you guys have to wear everyday

Just what is he going to do with all of people in the caravans. Use a firing squad? He has the military there and says they are not getting in. What are their options?

The whole thing is idiocy. Spend a hundred grand on each one between border patrol,the jail and jailers where they are held,transportation,guards,feeding them ,doctoring them,lawers,judges,court costs,etc Instead of vetting them,make the good ones tax paying citizens And simply send the bad ones straight back to wherever. Wouldn't that make more sense than spending billion,if not trillions of dollars we are now spending,only to deport them,then have them trek straight on back to try again in a different spot? Seems pretty simple to me

But he sounds like he is going to use a firing squad against them. That would be a big mistake.

Cannot see the army following an order like that. Not only would trump get crucified, so would every single person involved from the general on down. He is partly stroking his oversize ego,and partly because he is trying to influence the election. Anybody that believes anything coming out of that guys mouth needs to seek professional help. Immediately

What is wrong with people? I'm sure you have all seen the news about the twins and their little sister who were killed by a driver claiming she saw flashing lights but didn't know it was a school bus until she got close to it. Don't you slow down for any flashing light? How do the parents recover from losing their three children because someone wasn't paying attention? Meanwhile she had three kids in her vehicle too.
Last night in Philadelphia a brother and sister were tricking or treating before dark and got caught in the crossfire of two men fighting. Both children were shot but thankfully will recover. The pumpkin they were using to carry their candy exploded with gunshots. 6 shell casings were found next to the candy. And the crime rate here is higher than Philadelphia. And people wonder why trick or treating is limited here.
This morning in Huntingdon, Pa., a 7 year old was found dead at his bus stop apparently from a hit and run driver.
Yesterday in separate incidents three other kids were killed boarding their school bus or crossing the road to the bus. Now that it's too late they are going to move the bus stop so kids don't have to cross a highway. That situation should never have existed to begin with.
We need to get these people out of office that are being bought out by lobbyists.
And for those of us on social security, we should all be terrified right now if McConnell and those like him continue on their path. Are they deliberately trying to kill off the seniors and disabled?

I think that would be the straw that broke the camel's back. Any politician that actually votes that way just signed their own death sentences, And if not outright civil war,you can dam well bet domestic terrorism against the government would be countrywide and create more chaos than these lawmakers ever thought possible

Mitch McConnell announced that they are going to cut social security, medicare, and medicaid to balance the budget they created by overspending on other things more important to their agenda.

He wants to try.. I dont think he would succeed though.
Why would his constituents vote him back into office? It would affect way to many millions of people. Old folks have a lot of say though.they are far more likely to vote than youngsterz,and they have some very powerful groups fighting to protect seniors. I sure hope they are not seriously going to attempt something so foolhardy

There are a lot of people who vote straight Republican no matter who is running. That's why we have this mess now. And then there is the electoral college who votes the way they want instead of the way the people voted.

Welcome to America Land of the free(if you are rich enough) Home of the brave (But not brave enough to band together and make our country the place it deserves to be)
I do not believe this is what our nation's founders dreamed about when they came to this continent This is not the country my forefathers helped create and defend in the revolutionary war They were migrants They came here to flee the opression,starvation in Ireland and scotland. They came here for a chance to raise their families and prosper without fear of the government persecuting them for their religion,or persecution simply because they were scots-irish. They worked hard Provided for their children and helped build towns,cities and communities. They helped their neighbors. They fought for this country . They were proud of what they accomplished. Unfortunately, Greed and selfishness have turned our country into something else entirely. I do not believe my forefathers are proud any longer.
I love the people of this great nation. But I fear our government and what it stands for.
Get out and vote folks. Yes,you are voting from a pool of selfserving,greedy politicians. But we can vote the worst abusers out. Vote like your children's lives depend on it. Because they truly might
