MY TURN........                 (to rant) There was a time when Halloween was lots of fun, no one was mean. We didn't have to check our treats and children safely crossed the streets. And then the "seventies" arrived with liberal concepts all contrived to change our "Dull" society bluring lines of propriety bending rules of decency, corruption, greed and call it "Free". No freedom lies within these mores. Suffering now, we've locked our doors. We scan for weapons all  aboard or come to school a frightened hoard. Is this the "New Society" that once they blithely stated would bring to us a world that's free of hatred, educated, would bring us new insightfulness? Devoid of all the frightfulness? A better place for us to live? A healthy place to raise our kids? When mistress Miley gets on stage, or "Beeber" gets arrested are we really proud of them? Well I'm not, I'm ashamed
