Too Old to Trick-or-Treat -- By Law?

I have read several articles in the last couple of days discussing trick-or-treating by teenagers. Some cities have passed laws making it illegal if over a certain age. To them I say thank you for proving my long-standing argument that America is a tyranny rather than the free society it claims to be.

I also make this declaration. If my town, or any city within 50 miles bans trick-or-treating for ANY age I will go door to door on Halloween even though I am well above any age they would set for the limit. Notice how I did not say I would go trick-or-treating. Instead of going "trick-or-treating," I will dress in a costume, knock on doors randomly, and say "what's up" while holding out a pillow case. I will also make certain to conduct one of these visits at the houses of any legislator who votes for an age ban on trick-or-treating in the hopes of getting arrested for violating the oppressive ban.

Now don't get me wrong. I don't like teens trick-or-treating either but I want them to decide for themselves how old is too old.

And seriously, these kinds of laws are never really thoughtfully considered. These idiot politicians just react without thinking in a ridiculous effort to control EVERYTHING. What if my teenager is mentally disabled and has the mental age of a child? Do these bans exempt them? What about my teenager taking smaller kids around? Is that illegal? What about me taking my kids trick-or-treating? Is that illegal?

The line of how old is too old should be drawn by the individual, not government.
