rest are referred to as “white lies”. These are joke words which show that we can tolerate people who don‟t tell the truth all the time. If people did not make up stories, there would be no literature, poetry or films. Some psychologists argue that the lies people tell each other help hold society together. They make us feel good about each other and ourselves and encourage tolerance and trust. Just think what the world would be like if everybody said exactly what they thought all the time. Yet there are times when people also need to hear the truth. It would be wrong to say that lying makes the world go round. It‟s the little green men in the center of the earth who do that. 56.

Mary Ellen Manniello, whose daughter, Courtney, 9, is a fourth grader at St. Gabriel School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, said she understood why officials had banned weapons with costumes. “They‟re learning more about guns from issues in the street than educational issues.” This year, the school has gone one step further and is prohibiting all costumes at its Halloween festivities. Ms. Manniello said it had bee “a chaotic scene,” with parents helping their children change into their costumes at school. Some parents said the noweapons policy for Halloween costumes went too far and denied children a chance to express themselves. “Halloween has always been the one day when it was acceptable for our children to be dresssed like somebody they are not, like a cowboy or a pirate or a person from outer space, and now we‟re taking that away from them,” said Laura Santoro, a nurse from New Milford, Conn., whose 7yearold son, Johnny, is a second grader at Northville Elementary School there. Ms. Santoro said that her son would dress as Capt. Jack Sparrow, the character played by Johnny Depp in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, at the school‟s Halloween party, but that he would not be allowed to take a sword — part of a policy that caught her by surprise last Halloween. “I sent my son to school last year dressed as a special force Power Ranger, and he was told that he couldn‟t take along his red laser blaster, which really surprised me, because the laser is red and made of plastic and lights up, and it could never, ever be mistaken for a real gun,” Ms. Santoro said. “I mean, e on, the whole thing is getting really sad.” 60.
