- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Apparently, your kids do now. I know,. you are old and crotchety and change is scary.

I give the teenagers a lecture about being beggars. The little kids are entertainers, costumes and all. But once they are too cool for costumes they are just beggars.
I then hand them a roll of toilet paper each. Now they are extortionists, like Tony Soprano. Much better. I point out that if they use the TP on my trees they will be back to being beggars. They do have permission to TP my trees (hoping they are normal kids and will TP trees they don't have permission to).
I will occasionally teach a borderline case how to throw TP so it unravels in flight.

Well, I am Buddhist, and live in a zendo so it's fairly likely that many of the people who stop by to trick or treat might even figure it out. (A surprisingly number of people don't - there is a sign, albeit small, and a buddha on the porch.)
We don't in fact hand out candy - kind of a long story, but partly it's our own stances on nutrition, partly it's that most candy that's packaged for handing out on Halloween is pretty lousy candy. OTOH, we don't want to be the downers on the block - so we're handing out glow bracelets and multi-colored led glowies (think throwies but with a pin instead of a magnet, and a more interesting led). Last year we only had bracelets - and in 35 minutes went through 200 of them.

Maybe you should read the FAQ? it's an American centric site.
After perusing http://slashdot.org/faq [slashdot.org] I see no mention of this. Can you please direct us at a specific FAQ entry?
