...hues of the Skittles rainbow. But that’s what every other day of the year is about. The true Halloween is about postponing the pleasure of eating your candy to count it for the purposes of a math project. It’s about a young bro named Cornelius who once broke his middle school’s record for UNICEF collections by solemnly refusing to accept candy without a charitable donation. But most of all, it’s about three little words that epitomize the spirit of the holiday: [the] jack o’ lantern. During...
...writer Oscar Kightley of the Brash prescription. "But (in the past year) I'm also hearing a lot more things, racist stuff, on the street from ordinary people.
