Many realize that today marks the celebration of All Hallows Eve, more commonly known as Halloween. It garners its origins in the Celtic Festival known as Samhain (thanks Wikipedia!!!), which was a marking of the end of the harvest season. Now, as we seem to with everything else in America, we celebrate by dressing up in costumes and going door to door with our hands out begging for confections. I was sitting here thinking and began to draw a parallel between Halloween and the impending Election. One of the candidates sent me correspondence everyday for a solid three (3) weeks begging for a donation. It was interesting to me because they sent a number of glossy full color photographs that even though they must have been mass produced to get a better rate still cost money. Does it really make sense to beg me for money by spending money on postage and swag? Couldn't the resources you already had been allocated more efficiently? It seems as though the candidates, and for that matter a number of American institutions treat everyday like it's Halloween. My advice, stop begging and utilize your resources more efficiently. You know what I've learned, if you keep your lights off trick-or-treaters will not come to your house. Consider this the proverbial lights out against materialistic, Godless, greedy, institutions. Stay off of my porch!!!
Living within your means? What a novel idea
