Out treating with kids,
No tricking, just having fun.
One with the candy.

Today's Meditation(s):

Traditions often address social issues. If you are going to do away with one, you'd best have discovered what social ill it ameliorated. Beyond that, you need to either deduce that the problem it addressed is no longer an issue or make sure your New Order doesn't see this old issue recur in an unexpected time and place.

Slavish devotion to tradition is stagnating. Unreasoned rejection of the same is all too often regression.

Think before you act.
