I ain't scared of no ghost
You know, sometimes I actually feel sorry for kids these days. Sure, when I was growing up Mister H Bomb loomed over us all, but we were allowed to play dodge ball, play unsupervised with pretty much anyone we wanted ("play dates"? what nazi dreamed those up?) and Halloween was all about the candy.
Bruce Watters used to simply hand out candy on Halloween, just like his neighbors in St. Petersburg, Fla., until he decided the holiday's ghoulishness really didn't jibe with his Christian beliefs.
But rather than skip the neighborhood ritual, he's put a Christian stamp on it. For the third year in a row, kids will leave his porch with a piece of candy, plus a religious tract - a concise, colorful handout telling how to attain salvation through Jesus Christ.
Good luck with that.
