Memories of a Non-Political Halloween
Politics has infused itself into every waking moment of our lives, including Halloween.
Some schools are canceling Halloween parties and parades. The media offer guidance on what costumes are politically and socially unacceptable.
Everyone is on guard, worried that he or she may be recorded doing or saying something politically incorrect that inadvertently offends somebody else.
It’s become a very bad idea to let yourself have too much fun, or one too many adult beverages, at a Halloween gathering.
As I said, our Halloween fun was good while it lasted.
