As I read it, VK was rejecting Halloween primarily not because it was
foreign, but because it involves blackmail. And I think she's perfectly
entitled to have such an opinion. Just being entrenched in a particular
country or society doesn't make a tradition morally acceptable.

For example, some countries have traditions of female circumcision.

I could do some ObAscii of that, but somehow I don't think it would be
very entertaining.
