trafficked from the Mexican border and Biden is doing nothing about it. And the "alarm" now goes to Halloween candy.... candy which was supposed to be safe and fun.

Reflecting about razor blades and LSD were the scares about the Democratic supported Hippy drug craze in the 60's. I don't recall reading about any real lsd in candy or razor blades in Halloween apples.

I do recall in the 70's ( I was a teacher in a public school) and one day a math teacher comes into the faculty lunch room, telling us about a teenage baby sitter who put a baby in a microwave. Parents came home and were told that the turkey is in the microwave, ready to eat.



No, my post was not about being funny. It was about this kind of rumor having gone on in our society for ages. 300 years ago, it was witches and you had Increase Mather giving relief to a teenager who had a curse put on her. She expressed relief from her symptoms when Reverend Mather rubbed salve onto her chest.

Some other people were hanged for that bullshit.

I hope this helps.
