I don't 'get' our elected officials sometimes

With kids dressed up in masks from movies and jewelry like tanzanite rings, this holiday we have the shift from being told to celebrate it out of convenience to soccer mom's and local churches.

Two days ago I got wind of a member of City Council trying to 'officially' change Halloween from observed on Sunday to Saturday, in what came across as political convenience. While the requesting person 'did' put a stop to it, it's another example of bills pushed without decent thought.

What's funny is there's also rhetoric being pushed regarding sex predators and offenders to protect kids this year that specifically gives wording to 'shelters'. I'm curious what's next: will oversized Snoopy costumes be checked for age appropriate wearers?
