Here We Go Again!

* A Contemporary Commentary On The News*

HERE WE GO AGAIN!

( or The Press Never Seems To Get it Right!)

I wish to add my voice amongst the sane and intelligent ones who actually do report the news with TRUTH and accuracy.

But while it seems the whole country has gone bonkers, be it known that it is only one-third who are upset and protesting.

The lamestream media is in full-force, with its knee-jerk responses, as one who has been hypnotized and the trigger word has been uttered. It's like the fractured alters of a person with D.I.D. has surfaced, and they are just "reacting".

You know how frustrating it is when you are in conversation with someone, and they misconstrue your meaning, your words. They regurgitate it back in your face, but it's all messed up, perverted. So, then for the next hour you try to re-explain yourself, to nail down what you exactly said and meant, and they ... still don't get it.  They are bouncing off one word or phrase you used, and that's it. They go off on a tirade on how racist and bigoted you are. They take up an nonexistent cause, and champion it to the hilt. That is how it is with the national televised media. For the most part.

Couple that with all the disgruntled democrats who lost. I mean, the whole party LOST. Not only do you have the media, but celebs and news pundits and talking heads and democrat rebels and protestors having a major melt-down.

Why? Because Trump WON.
That's it.
Never mind his character and the feats he has accomplished already in one week as President . . . It's Donald Trump. 

(Not Hillary. Boo=Hoo).

The off-scouring of the elite and globalists and new world order rats can't let go without a proper melt-down.

And what exactly are the media and celebrities saying?

THAT isn't the news! It's what they ain't saying that should be paid attention to! They accuse Trump of doing this, and being that, when he has only done GOOD since he has been in office. He is doing EXACTLY what he promised The American People he would do >>> drain the swamp, rid government of corruption, and put America first again!

So ... why all the bitching and griping and accusing??

These people don't know Trump.
They just heard "this and that", and they decided to camp on those words. Every cotton-pickin' accusation and charge that has been hurled against the Man has all been debunked.
Fabrications.
Lies.
All coming from Hillary, Obama and a media-machine bent on a stupid, worn=out globalist agenda.
Here's the real scoop:

I believe that there is an anti-American spirit working in these people. Look at the riots. That's right. They are riots.
NOT protestings. Look how the media keeps spinning and spinning the facts, most recent of which is the travel ban, which many were calling a "muslim ban". WRONG.

Trump was just re-enforcing what Obama ordered back in 2011. And all for the PROTECTION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Once again.

And don't get me started on "caring for the refugee".
Because in the Bible, New Testament, book of Romans, God made provision toward evil-doers, and the punishment that is to meted out to those who engage in evil deeds. Bringing thousands upon thousands of so-called "refugees" into this country, unvetted and turned loose into our public lives and streams ... well just look at Germany and other parts of Europe. IT HAS BEEN AN INVASION. Mayhem and crime and disaster coming forth from these so-called "refugees".
(More like "rapeUgees"!).

Our country takes in about a million new immigrants every single year ... they all have to come in "legally". Trump is only doing the RIGHT THING in vetting each and every "immigrant" who acts like they want to come in.

But the "bleeding hearts" out there, mostly the Leftist Liberal mindset has an agenda. And it is NOT an agenda you want.
You voted against them, because YOU The People became fed-up with their failed policies, rhetoric and hypocrisy.

The Left doesn't get it, probably never will.
They are always looking for a scapegoat ... they never seem to look in the mirror and get the Big Ah-Ha that they, and they alone are at fault. And blew it. Big time.

One of my neighbors walked by the other day saying, "Oh World War III is coming, and Trump is bringing it!" I asked him where did he get his info? "You've been watching the mainstream media on TV?"
"Oh no" he replied. "I get all my news on talk radio, AM (something something)." He said it even had Republicans on it etc. I told him in response:
"No, it's always been the democrats who are the war-mongers, like Hillary ... she was over there bombing Assad's country, and took out Ghadaffi over there in Egypt ..." And that was that, as I trailed off, because by that time, my friend had continued to go his course and walk away.

World War III???
How about all those people who have threatened to assassinate our new president?
This is all crazy.

Obama did some horrible, horrible things and committed multiple acts of treason, and bombed 27,000 times with drones, other countries (and innocents) over THE PAST 8 YEARS and nobody called him on the carpet, no impeachments and certainly no assassination attempts.
Not to mention some of the dirty deals involving billions of dollars ... where did all that money come from??
Besides having all of Congress in a tailspin, or headspin ...

Obama was courted by the media and made into a celebrity himself. The Left Liberals were free to do "whatever they pleased" and lawlessness reigned, and unfortunately, some of the populace LIKED that. When the Left and Hillary were "voted out", they got UPSET. As if. I mean, someone took all their fun and toys ... away.

So, in the end of this analysis, you can either believe the narrative spewed out by the daily pundits who call themselves "The News" ... OR ... you can choose to LISTEN and believe the facts, the truth, without the SPIN and without selective hearing or twisting what actually is being said and done. Mr. Donald J. Trump may be bold, he may be strong, but that is EXACTLY what America needs.

So, Michael Moore, sit down and shut up.
Go back to your film-making and stop lying about the President. Clooney -- and others in the entertainment field, focus on your craft, your acting etc. You are not the voice of politics, the voice of The American People or the voice of reason. The only "carnage" that is taking place is "in your head".  Trump is not in office to hurt anyone. If you listened to him, you would know that. Trump is in office because We The People wanted him there, and I think that God Almighty did too. After all he "puts one up, and another down" when it comes to national leaders.
Main-stream media? Report the news "truthfully", not some "fake news" you made up for ratings. Sheeeeeesh.

We The People wanted the madness and corruption in government to STOP.
We The People wanted a return to true American values, what made this country great before.

We The People wanted someone who was NOT a career politician, who actually cared about US ... The People.

If you cannot see that ... then you truly are blind and need the strongest Lasik known to man.

Curses! FOILED AGAIN.

Yeah, curses are a thing. 

They are a real thing.

When most people hear about "curses", they think

of images of explorers entering forbidden caverns or

pyramids, and falling into traps that hurt, maim or kill

them. There's always been stories about families that

have fallen under certain curses, and there's this history

of very bad things happening to the family members.

Of course, you can read books, watch movies and TV

shows and see some of this portrayed.

There are several type of curses:

1. Generational curses

2. Word curses

3. Witchcraft curses

4. Secret organization curses

These are the main ones.

The one we want to focus on today is #3,

Witchcraft curses. They are the most insidious,

the ones that seemingly do the most damage.

It should be important to note that curses do NOT

affect everybody. No. They usually occur due to

either someone being "targeted" or due to a bloodline's

wickedness, or in this case, "witches". Witches are

notorious for casting curses upon those they come into

contact with, usually blood relatives. They join up with

the powers of darkness, and hurl their hate & abuse.

Then again, it is most important to point out that some people 

live so very far above such things, because of spirituality and/or

righteousness in that particular bloodline.

How does one know he or she is under a curse?

Life doesn't work the way it's supposed to ... you observe

others around you, and you KNOW something isn't right.

A constant failure in business endeavors (or jobs), finances

drying up or vanishing, health issues being over the edge in

an abnormal fashion, relationships going askew no matter what

you try to do to fix things. Ministry opportunities blowing up 

around you, with disfavor and things falling apart. Now, if you

really need a definition, just go to Leviticus and read some examples

of "the curses". Surely it will fall somewhere in there.  Either way,

you will sense that The Blessing isn't in operation the way it should be.

Witchcraft Curses actually directly attack "supply lines",

finances, health and typical operations toward success.

The witches hate the gospel and ministers, so their goal

is to block, prevent and stop the operations and blessings

in ministry, to completely thwart, defame and cripple those

who are called into ministry, those who are operating in

viable ministry, and pose a THREAT to the powers of darkness.

The strangest thing about living under such dark forces, is that

witches operate "behind the scenes" and often diffuse what they

do so that those so oppressed are in confusion, not knowing what

is causing all the ruckus. Witches like to deflect and blame other 

people or other agencies. It takes revelation knowledge from 

God to unravel what the heck is going on.

THE GOOD NEWS is, unlike those movies and TV shows that 

hardly give any hope against this dark force, The power of Jesus' 

name and blood can break off and render null and void ANY CURSE!
Once you discover the name of the curse, and where it came from, you
can PRAY and BREAK off the curse >>> break it off your subconscious mind,
mind/will/emotions, body & life and generations. Make sure to use the
Name and Blood of Jesus!

The truth of God's Word and the power of The Gospel can undo the curse . . .  

in fact, THE BLESSING is more powerful than The Curse!

Curses can be FOILED ... they can be DEFEATED. One can walk in victory over them.

ALL of them. It does not have to be a permanent problem, passed down from one 

generation to the next. One can break the chains.

The problem is this: When someone is "under the curse" or "under a curse", the blessing cannot be seen or realized. It may be desired, or even wished for, but it cannot manifest. There are two different realms at battle with each other, and one has usurped and superimposed itself upon the other. THE TRUTH must burst through, like a BREAKTHROUGH, with the GRACE of God, which is powerful enough to blast anyone out of any curse! The Blessing can then come in and replace what the curse was doing. That one who was under the curse can then WALK in the Blessing! Old things -- the curse and its effects --- will all pass away and transformation of one's formerly "cursed life" will be in operation. And if that's YOU I'm talking about, then you will see that your life will CHANGE.

NOT ANOTHER POLITICAL POST!!!

           * A News Commentary Outlet After The Truth!*

NOT ... ANOTHER ... POLITICAL POST!!!

There's a sense amongst Facebookers that feels like they want a break from all the political news. Can't blame them. Months and months have passed, and 75% of our newsfeeds are mostly political posts or the like. Some to be sure, eat it up, can't get enough. But for the rest, I can say that we all need a break. I intend to direct my blogs elsewhere after this. Not a promise, but my intentions are good.
However, some things still got to be addressed simply because these issues haven't gone away … yet.

We are in the business of seeking out the TRUTH.
We capitalize on The Truth, wherever we can find it, and the Truth exposes Lies. That's the reason for this blog, this article. Some information is just "the facts", and not the truth at all. With all the mainstream media guilty of "fake news", it is time for the alternative news sites to shine, so there can be accurate and truthful journalism once again.

I just spent some time on YouTube watching the news reporters and anchors, melting down at the news of Hillary's loss. And then I watched a montage of celebrities also have similar reactions. You would think, by their reactions, that they just lost their favorite pet or something. What amazes me is the Leftist Liberal mentality and narrative they all have bought into. I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out why they believe like they believe . . . and their entire belief system is built upon lies, fake news and false ideologies. Maybe we can offer to sell them the moon because, after all, isn't it made of cheese??

The whole negative reaction of the rioters/protestors to the Trump Win, is full of contradiction. They run around with signs saying "Love Trumps Hate" and they burn buildings and attack Trump Voters, acting out the very things they state they are against. They attack in the cities where the most people voted for Hillary. If I were to give them, the rioters a name, it would be "Wimpy Kiddy Baby Whiners", because that's all they really are >>> a bunch of sore losers.

BUT . . . there's a complete other dynamic happening here . . . a concerted effort by none other than groups hired by George Soros and The Left to continue to undermine and defame Donald J. Trump. They don't like what he stands for, it threatens them and their "new world order",  so they "make up" stories about him, fabricating concepts that just don't fit the man AT ALL. There's plenty of info & videos and history about The Donald, that refutes all the lies and labels that have been hurled against him. Actually, Trump has been in the public's eyes for over 30 years, and he was only accused of being "racist" when he announced  his bid for President on the Republican ticket.
Oh!! He's white AND Republican … Uh-Oh!!!
You know, at this point, I want to take a whole room of these Democraps and Liberals and ask them, "Why are you so afraid???"

We ALL know what Hillary believes, and yet there is this segment that feels so sorry for her . . . they ignore all of her crimes, her character, her tendency to blow up in anger, her diatribes like "baskets of deplorables", her repeated lying,  and all of her many, many scandals and investigations. One celeb said, "Oh I thought she should get the chance to become President …"
Oh Puh-Leeeze!! She DID get the chance -- Twice!
And she lost! Trump won fair and square, without rigging the polls and hiring dead people to vote.
When the Left gets on a tangent, they milk it and hang on the topic for all they can, for all its worth, and bombard us with it day and night! It's like this:
"If you don't vote for Hillary, you're sexist! You're a misogynist! If you don't like Obama, you're racist! If you disagree with our position, our opinion, then you are just plain Nazis!!" Again, I'm trying to figure out how they put that together in their brains, because all common sense and reasoning went down the toilet. Truth has escaped them . . . all that is left is this re-think of what is good and pure, to the point of insanity. And there is no other word for it.

Obama -- he continues to spew out his veiled but poisonous hate for The Law, for whites and for what I call Truth-In-Society, still LYING with a straight face, still propagandizing and still no-one stops him from his continual stream of disinformation. Because of his policies, which would have been continued and magnified with a Clinton presidency, racism and violence and lawlessness has increased exponentially over the last 8 years. It is for this very reason WHY the majority of hard-working patriotic Americans voted for TRUMP.  I want to yell at these news pundits and celebs and say: "Hey! Here's the reason your gal lost! We The People are tired of the corruption, the Lies, the hate going forth, the wrecked economy wrecked by the printing of trillions of fiat money, the bad foreign policy, the decimation of our military, the tolerance of terrorism in our own land, the violence against cops and truly racist-hate toward certain people in our cities, the failed "promises" of the Democratic party, leaving our cities in shambles; WE The People want our country restored, our AAA credit restored, our image restored, our people placed 1st, our Veterans cared for and placed first, The Constitution upheld and not undermined, and … if there's gonna be any "hope and change", then let it be what our Founding Fathers stood for -- the end of Tyranny from without or within and expression of Freedom for all of Our Peoples, not just a few! Not just for the Elite!" That's what I would tell them! I don't know if they would get a clue, but I would surely tell them, and tell them strong.
And Mr. Trump stands for all those concepts, and promotes those concepts and has been for them all of his life! We The People are tired of the status quo, the establishment of politicians doing the same old, same tired deeds that end in the destruction or defeat of our country. The Flag has been falling down, the Eagle has been sick, and can't even fly right.

That's what I would tell all of these Leftist Liberals. I may not argue with them to get them to understand me, they probably won't. But I would quiz them, try to reason with them logically. They may or may not change their mind … it depends on how steeped they are in "globalist thinking", which I have no desire for such nonsense. America used to be great, and respected and admired and emulated. It can and will be GREAT AGAIN. But that won't happen by letting the lamestream media being the leaders. The Left isn't about change and enrichment and greatness. They are just a bunch of crybabies who need pacifiers, pampers and the right "formula".  Don't try to nurse them naturally, for that substance is foreign to them. However, if one of them did turn and choose the healthy choice, there would be a major transformation.
That would be something. That would be a miracle, and the Beginning of The End of … The Left.

WHAT is Truth??

With all the political news, pundits, prognosticators, so-called prophets and doom-and-gloomers speaking forth their ideas and "facts", I thought it apropos and perhaps even urgent to write upon the topic of TRUTH.  The Oxford online dictionary defines truth thusly:

The quality or state of being true:

1.  the truth:  That which is true or in accordance with fact or reality

2. A fact or belief that is accepted as true

Well, I choose to define truth like this:

"that commodity of life and concept that refutes and exposes LIES and cannot be disputed once all the factors and information has weighed in".

Another Time. Another Place. A volatile mix of politics and spiritual dynamic is in the story below. Interesting how there are parallels with today, and how the political climate goes.
Jesus Christ Himself stood before Pontius Pilate, as recorded in John ch. 18.  Watch this, I think you'll find this amazing.

"Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”  Jesus answered, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?”  Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?”  Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”  Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”  Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?”  [Pilate then leaves the presence of Jesus and says "I find no fault in him".]

Pilate says these immortal words: "What Is Truth??"
Jesus once told his disciples, "I am the Way, The Truth and the Life!"
And here, "Everyone who is of the truth, hears my voice".
I'm sure that Pilate was thinking, "Man, I've got counsellors, advisors, reporters, spies, enemies and so-called loyal friends, I sure don't get much
'truth' coming from most of them! What is this thing "truth"???" Pilate's head was fried.

   As it is today, we've got a lot of opinions, ideas, doctrines, information masquerading as 'facts' and news reporters who claim to speak the truth, but their journalism lacks professionalism and reeks of shoddy research. Whilst the 2016 Election Campaign was underway, the majority of the lame-stream media seemed out to protect HRC (Hillary Rodham Clinton) at all costs, and malign Trump at every corner. Correspondents would go out of their way to take a sound-bite, a video clip or some word out of context, to build an entire case against Donald J. Trump, to defame his character and turn him into an evil person. Select women would come out of the woodwork and falsely accuse him of all sorts of atrocities. He became the poster-boy of the most negatively labelled political candidate to ever appear on the nightly news. And all the while, the networks just seem to be gleeful to lift up Hillary, and ignore her many, many scandals and criminal activities. During all this time, Trump enjoyed great support, and great turnouts for all his rallies. Some of his rallies were marred by violent protestors, but not of his doing, and NOT by his peoples.
It turns out, that The Donald was exonerated by the better news pundits, and video clips and speeches proved that all the info against him was ALL LIES.
It's at this point, I want to harp on. I would love to rant about … some would continue to call Trump by all those labels and be fearful of him, even after the news went forth to PROVE that the Left and the media, and Hillary were lying about him. As for Hillary, she would continue to lie, and lie about LYING, and lie to cover more lies. But because someone "heard it on the news", the ignorant public would swallow whatever they heard . . . without checking or re-checking the facts. Not to mention the daily propaganda coming out of the White House.
More Lies going forth.
And now, with all of the crazy so-called "protesting"
(which by the way, is just paid violent offenders causing mayhem), one has to wonder who or what voice do these people listen to??  I think a lot of it comes from the 8 years of listening to the doctrines, coming from Obama and the Clintons. There has been so much lawlessness, and it just trickled down to the unsuspecting sheeple. They listened to the lies and accepted them as the gospel truth.
You know, we all have been influenced, from birth, to follow some "voice of reason", some voice of authority or a voice that seems to have the "ring" of truth. But … not everyone has been raised to know the truth, and not everyone has been taught to discern between what is good and what is evil, and even our own children of this country … have been lied to and programmed to believe the perversion of the truth. Truth has been subtracted from their lives. Truth does not come into play, unless of course, you believe that this or that truth is "truth to you".  Even Adolph Hitler was a master of THE LIE. He is known for this quote:
"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."

There you go. That's the way to brain-wash the public … take some pointers from Ol' Hitler here and the sheeple are putty in your hand. I started to wonder, if anyone was seeking the truth during this election. I wondered if anyone cared. It's just so easy to listen to "the news" or your neighbors and repeat exactly what they say and believe. I try not to do that. I consider myself a "truth-seeker".  The truth is not always evident, sometimes it has to be sought out. Is it really that hard to do? I guess when the majority of folks are talking schmack about a public figure, it becomes almost like swimming upstream if you take a different view. And in the age of "PC" nonsense, you could even be "shot down" for having a different view!
I think it is hilarious how the news pundits and talking-heads all started to melt-down and become befuddled when Trump won the election. I also think it is remarkable how some major news outlets actually started to report on Clinton's evil escapades, instead of ignoring them.

Can I express an opinion to you? I think the truth will eventually come out … I mean, even Jesus said that things that are hidden will be shouted from the rooftops! I think of TV antennae and Dishes on people's roofs -- I think that all applies. The question remains:
Will the people, all the people, who have been lied to and believed a lie, when the truth is put forth as THE TRUTH and cannot be disputed, will they change their minds?? Will they change their behavior?? Will they come to their senses???
The truth has a way of penetrating through the confusion and crap. It is the "truth that you know" that will set you free. I hope that the sheeple will take in the truth, and be truly set free.

Why I hate Halloween

Disclaimer:
I write this not to condemn anyone or even change the minds of those who are inclined
to celebrate this "holiday" ... these are my own thoughts and beliefs, you may share them,
or not. If you don't agree with me, that is perfectly fine. That is your choice. I just had to 
describe why I feel the way I do. Again, no condemnation if you disagree.  TONY. 

I have several reasons why I and my family do not celebrate "Halloscream" (as I call it),
and many reasons why I feel the way I do about this so-called "holiday". There is a whole
entire history that I could delve into, the origins of Halloween, Samhain, etc. But other writers have already gone there. I'm just going to share my feelings and beliefs, and well,
Here I Go.

SCARE FACTOR

I was raised up in Christ to believe that God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power/love/sound mind. That my thoughts should line up with Phillipians 4, the "think on these things" passage. I don't have the time or desire to clutter up my brain and soul with fear, howbeit be generated by media or by people or other stimuli. I have also watched little children be actually TRAUMATIZED by experiencing real fear, by entering into this or that spook house. I have watched parents laugh about the episode, while the child was visibly shaken up. FOR REALS. I don't think it's funny. I think any child, between the ages of 0 and 7 should never be exposed to such an ordeal.
We as a society have desensitized our children, and ourselves to evil. We have called "good, evil" and "evil, good". We create images of monsters and other creatures, with blood and gore and guts, and then present it to our children, as if it is NORMAL. Oh, it's OK, it's only once a year. Yeah, right. When I was growing up, "trick or treat" was usually harmless (except for the warning stories we heard about razor blades some whackos would place in apples) . . . but there was not a penchant for ultra-scary or horrific costumes and the like.
Also, notice how all the horror flicks/slasher films start to come out of the woodwork in October. Great genre, right? I know some peeps who just watch this junk and then laugh about it. Man, I was bothered when they had Alice Cooper in one of these films, and he was plunging a spear into somebody's body. That bothered me. I mean, I like Alice. I never thought of him as that macabre. I knew his shows were all an act.
Churches like to bring out their haunted films to scare kids to accept Christ. They drag in their productions of "Heaven's Gates/Hell's Flames" or even "Judgment House", and it all just glorifies the devil. All of this is crap and isn't even necessary.

GLORIFYING THE DARKNESS

So, once a year it is AOK to worship or, er, I mean publicize and focus on the powers of darkness. Ghouls, goblins, witches, demons, zombies, dead people, tombstones and cemeteries, blood and gore and guts galore. Hey, it's ok, its just ENTERTAINMENT, right??
I refer you back to the Phillipians 4 passage:

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

It's like this folks:
There was this big to-do about backward-masking, once upon a time.
Petra had the best response to it. They recorded a short message on the beginning of one of their tunes, Judas Kiss. It was a message recorded backwards.  You had to play the vinyl backwards to get the 'forward' meaning:
 "Why are you looking for the devil when you should be looking for the Lord??"
 Brilliant. The question makes the point. Why are good people, good christian people focusing on and spending any time on the powers of darkness?? Unless it is to expose them and to defeat them?? There's already enough darkness in the world, without having to drag it back into our own lives.

DRESS-UP, PARTY AND CANDY

These traditions of Halloween, I've discovered, came over here mainly with the Irish.
Certainly things have evolved since the days of Samhain, and the actual horrendous
traditions that has come to be known as "trick or treat".  But hey, there's nothing wrong with having some FUN ... dressing up, and binging on candy and sweets etc. Nothing wrong with an occasional sugar-rush, right?? Except for those who are watching their quota of dental caries. But I'm always up for a good party. Bring it on. It's just . . . we can do this any day of the year. Why "that day"?? Why October 31?? Why during the biggest feast day and heyday of many groups of WITCHES, who yes, actually do engage in evil, debauchery, blood sacrifices and the cursing of church groups?? Yeah, that really goes on. I for one would NOT line myself up with them.
I have dressed up before. I was Moses one time. The Apostle Paul on another occasion. So, what's the big deal??? We don't do what those folks of ancient times have done, and we certainly don't believe like they do.
Answer: I sum it all up by saying, if you're going to celebrate something, let it have some meaning. Halloween is really a stupid, meaningless holiday, that has actually done more harm than good. And the majority of the world isn't commemorating a bunch of dead saints. Although, the Latinos have their own version, "The Day of the Dead". I don't care much for that "holiday" either. I saw some really bad fruit coming from that. No offense to my fellow Latinos, I love ya'all anyway.

IN CONCLUSION, if you can celebrate this time, this day with a clear conscience, then by all means, do so. Just do me a favor. Don't hurt anybody in the process. Have fun, be cool and don't be a ghoul.

TONY
