I also live in a small town (in very Northern CA). The
local paper had an article about halloween and there
were quite a few comments from parents who said they
were not going to let their kids trick or treat
because they're afraid they might get anthrax
poisoning! I mean REALLY! Who is going to come up here
in the back of beyond and poison a bunch of little
kids? The fear and paranoia is getting just a tad
(sarcasm) out of hand in my opinion.
