Letter: No Porch Light Doesn’t = Pervs

Oh great! Now if our porch light is off tonight our neighbors will be wondering if we’re sex offenders? What if we’re not home? If we’re sick or invalids? If our religion doesn’t recognize Halloween? If we don’t have money to buy candy? Why couldn’t you just have suggested that trick-or-treaters not approach houses without porch lights on as safe and courteous? Celebrating Halloween is a choice, not a requirement or entitlement. Personally, we enjoy trick-or-treaters. But we feel leaving our porch light off if we won’t be answering the door is a courtesy, saving trick-or-treaters time and trouble/ Judith & Charles Farrey , of Hayden, letter to Coeur d’Alene Press editor.
