little holiday too, what with the death-themed candy and the picnics in
the cemetary.

Chavez: Halloween part of U.S. culture of terror
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez urged Venezuelan parents not to dress their children in costumes for Halloween, calling it a U.S. custom that has no place in the South American country's cultural traditions.
....he urged parents to think about whether it was appropriate to dress up their children as part of a foreign custom, calling it "the game of terror."
He said that is part of the U.S. culture -- "terrorism, putting fear into other nations, putting fear into their own people."
