Why are there teal pumpkins?

Teal pumpkins exist so that kids know which homes to skip during trick or treat. It’s great that people want to include kids who can’t eat candy, but it also gives a heads-up to those who don’t want to waste their time. There are better things to do and more full-size candy bars to find. If my child were allergic to candy, then we wouldn’t participate at all. It would be a relief that we didn’t have to walk the neighborhood filled with displays of Wanton violence and Satanism.

The Power of Kindness Amid Political Polarization


I’ve been voting for several elections now and I don’t recall so much hostility towards any president as much as Donald Trump. I’ve never seen so many commercialized insults towards President Trump and now it seems that candy companies are throwing their hat in the ring. Just because you have freedom of speech doesn’t give you the freedom to be disrespectful towards your fellow humans. Well, I guess it does.

But let’s remember that even if someone is “your enemy” then treating them with kindness is like dumping burning coals on them. Got that from some book, not sure which one. I think it’s the same one as the golden rule or something.
