The Stupidity of Halloween

Not only is Halloween pagan and evil and creepy, but the lemmings that celebrate it, considering it harmless fun are just plain morons. Even with the economic nose-dive we are in, the National Retail Federation estimates U.S. consumers will scare up nearly $5.8 billion to celebrate this evil holiday. That's a per-person average spending of $66.54, nearly 3% more than last year's average. Why would people waste so much money on something so stupid and gross?
