Soapbox: Halloween..a World Model?

So, I have been trying all week to find a blog entry I happened on almost a month ago. I had copied it down when I found it and emailed the person hosting the blog asking permission to link to it, or use it as part of today's but no answer. I tried searching for it. No luck. Maybe like that TV-season of Dallas it was all just a dream? Determined that the original poster get credit I finally googled the entire first two sentences. Success!  You can click on the title to see the original blog post. Do your own observation this weekend as trick or treaters come to your door and let us know what combinations you see! I hope you agree that his humorous yet pointed version of "can't we all just get along" is worth a soapbox this week.

THE BEST THING ABOUT HALLOWEEN

The best thing about Halloween to me is that it illustrates just how stupid prejudice of any kind truly is. You go into the bank and you’ve got Count Dracula chatting it up with a teller dressed as Sponge Bob Square Pants – they’re getting along just fine. You’ve got a woman dressed as Sara Palin waving hello to a couple of drag queens, who may or may not even be dressed up. You see nuns and hookers going to Halloween parties together, Osama Bin Laden and George W Bush standing side by side handing out Halloween candy. Somehow we manage to set aside our differences for this one day a year to exist in perfect harmony. Why can’t we do that for the other 364 days of the year?
