““As I said, during those decades we kids trick or treated by ourselves, walking the familiar neighborhoods without fear and totally safe! I suppose that we weren’t as entirely safe as we thought! Child molesters and the proverbial perverts are not new even though some politicians claim that perversion is a new concept thrust upon us by the liberal left! Politics! It may be that the “perverts” of those times were more afraid of being outed! Kids in today’s world are told from early age to tell when they think things are wrong! Of course, that “telling” has been abused time and time again with many innocent people being put through HELL just because some kid was pissed off because he didn’t get a second helping at snack time. But back then,””
