It has been a while since I posted here last. But this Halloween is going to be a very special one. It made me remember an article I posted online a LONG time ago (2003) on the original ACE and other sites. Since this new website hasn't had it restored, I figured now was the perfect time to dig it up and share it with you all.

The American holiday of Halloween seems to be under a constant wave of negative attacks. It has a long and interesting history with Christian and Pagan origins. But in this country it barely stands for the original purpose in both religions, which is to honor the dead. Today it seems nothing more than a chance for hyperactive children to dress up in costumes, from the humorous to the horrific, in order to justify their begging of candy from strangers.

the post you are now reading is designed to dull your senses to THE TRUTH. do not live the life of the worker bee, the cog, the well-oiled piston in the MACHINE OF DECEIT!

there is a grand CONSPIRACY afoot. you have been taught to believe that you are UNIQUE, one of a kind. THIS IS NOT TRUE. long ago, a cabal of scientists created technologies to ensure that ANYONE'S MIND AND BODY can be duplicated.

human cloning isn't NEAR. it's already HERE. discover the truth at http://JCHutchins.net

If you want safe alternatives to Trick-Or-Treating because you are worried about candy and strangers, then host a party. Or go to a church and find a Family Festival. There will be many Harvest Carnivals, County and State Fairs. Enjoy them all. But don't just hide at home. Don't let the fear-mongers win. Halloween is not about being scared. Hollywood may have capitalized on the genre, but that isn't what Halloween is about. It is about veneration of our loved ones and ancestors. It is to remember who we are and where we've come from. Hold our traditions dear, for they are our history. Dispel your misconceptions.
