Personally, I would give her the finger. You want to close your door, turn off 
your porch light, and not participate? Fine. You want to pick and choose which 
kids are worthy and which are not? Up yours.

[tips] And What Are You Giving Out On Halloween?

2013-10-30 Thread Mike Palij
Have you heard about the woman who thinks she's doing a public
service by giving kids who in her opinion are moderately obese
a letter saying that they are not going to get any candy?  No? See:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/30/obese-halloween-letter/3312537/

The USA Today article quote a clinical psychologist who says that
this is a form of bullying while an cardiologist says that it's just 
tough love.

What are you going to give?

I also have the feeling that the woman giving out the letter may find
a letter under her door which may say something Well, I can always
lose weight but you'll be mean and stupid for the rest of your life.
