Strange World


On the news this morning, they informed us  
North Americans spend 8 BILLION dollars 
on Hallowe'en. 

I can't help but think how many people 
in the Third World we could feed 
with that much money.

We are an odd species.

  4. Sherry, I have thought the same about all of the political ads that have been on television and all the political ads I have received in the mail. Surely there could have been better use for all this money.

  9. Probably the oddest species. We don't make sense.

  10. I don't think it's so much being odd as being purely selfish, Sherry.
    Well said.

  12. It's a happening! There's a cost attached to it definitely. But the amount is mind-boggling!
