I find it really sad about halloween RR - both in America, and from having lived in Europe.

What should be the ultimate DIY celebration of creativity, individuality, and a subtle challenge at the establisment, is nothing more than just another bonanza for the corporations and comercialization.

I even remember, way WAY back it seems now, when we'd go around all the neighborhoods, just the kids. Now you are more apt to see kids in America trotting inside some shopping mall.

Must everything be transformed into a mere commodity to be bought and sold?
