What’s with the “Turkey Day” tract? Not only is it still perfectly legal to mention “Thanksgiving” in school (for that matter, you can protelize to your friends all you want until they tell you to STFU, Jack), but that completely biased, idiotic re-telling of the Pilgrims was not only inaccurate, but horribly racist. Squanto “miraculously” spoke perfect English. “God” provided for the pilgrims, the natives were just kinda hanging out with nothing better to do. What on earth is wrong with these people?

Don’t all those Jack Chick tracts sold…uh, given-for-a-donation- make JC a pile of money?

Not that that would mean anything to him, of course..he’s just in it for the Salvation Notches in his Bible Belt…

Perhaps we need to have the author publish these:

and distribute them in neighborhoods where we know people are handing out real Chick tracts.

By the way, there is no substantial proof that any Halloween candy has ever been laden with pins, razors, or poison. It’s pretty much an urban legend.

Think of all the candy wasted. Usually Mary Janes (which I happen to love) because of their shabby-wrappers (that’s the black or orange wrapped peanut-buttery-molassessy-chewy things)..

Halloween SUCKS nowadays. When I was a kid the houses WITHOUT porchlights on were the minority. Now it’s not uncommon to be on a street with only 2-3 houses handing out candy. My kids walk three miles and get about hlaf a pound of treats.

Also, in an era of declining crime rates, child abduction is no anomaly. Kids are NOT being abducted with any more frequency. A few years back it was the media’s lil’ hook for a couple months, but if you think the only times kids are getting snatched is when it’s on the news…well, I got some Kabbalah water to sell ya.

That being said, I still have a hard time just letting my kids out on their own (and, admittedly, don’t). Geesh – I used to walk to school from kindergarten on, AND roam the city. At least until the streetlights came on.

Delta:
Of course it’s inappropriate to hand them out to little kids. That’s my point. I’m not suggesting that people give tracts to all trick-or-treaters. I want to make sure I’m clear on that. That’s a terrible idea. My suggestion was to give them to the children of the people handing out Christian tracts to kids. The kids won’t read them anyway. At best, it will teach the parents a lesson. At worst, it will piss them off.
