It would be interesting to find out *where* people are doing their trick 
or treating. Out here in the mostly white burbs of Kansas City, I've 
seen an influx of cars with Missouri license plates on Halloween night. 
It may be that families in poorer parts of town are just taking the kids 
to the burbs. One of the wealthier subdivisions around here just crawls 
with parent cars on Halloween night. It didn't make sense to me that 
kids would bother with the mini-mansions, since there are fewer of them, 
but perhaps the rich fuckers over there give out more candy.
