Your point, and the author's point, are both wrong. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 01/11/2017 11:59:52 PM

Learning about "origins" is beautiful and help our understanding of who we are in the present by learning about our history, but also beautiful is learning about "remixes" and how things change over time. There is no perfect / original, it is human ingenuity causing things to change over time and ascribe new meaning. We as humans do this to "tools" but we also do this to our "culture" and our "mythology."

All hail the remix, improvisation and jazz!


The author wrote

To understand the global appeal of the Halloween holiday, go back to its origins. Those origins are found not in mystic Celtic folklore, but in modern gay culture.

Sorry, that's just a complete fabrication. It's origins are not in modern gay culture. Please try again to spin the author's statement. Twist it around. Make it into something it's not.
