Flier doesn't allow people to overeat
I am responding to the article "RUBI celebrates Halloween candy fiends". It never ceases to amaze me that if you tell people or print information that suggests that it is actually "OK" to eat without feeling guilty, people automatically assume you are telling or giving them permission to overeat - to stuff themselves continuously.

Opinions can't be wrong, they're just someone's viewpoint

Every day, I read The State News online to see what's new at my alma mater. When I opened up the Web site Wednesday, I couldn't help but shake my head at the Page One story "Officials plan for worst, hope for best behavior" (SN 10/29).
