So on the nose is the traditional way of celebrating Halloween that a group called Media Evangelism has organised a march from Mong Kok to Tsim Sha Tsui today. Spokeswoman Vickie Chan said it was not right for Christians to celebrate Halloween by donning horror masks and demon horns and trying to scare each other as though it was a big joke. "Celebrating in this way means you are having a conversation with the Devil," she said. -- Why is no one pointing out that this is not mainstream Christianity? These evangelical organisations are representing an extreme and fundamentalist point of view. If Muslims were making these kinds of comments, the editorial view would be far more critical.

Cash exodus Oct 28, 2008 As opinion polls continue to favour Barack Obama, Wall Street will continue to slide. If Senator Obama wins the US presidential race, American citizens are in for a rude awakening. With an Obama White House and the Democrats having a majority in the Senate, business will never be the same in the US. What is happening now to the American stock market will trickle down to every phase of the country's economy, and smart money will leave the country. Unfortunately that is happening right now.
