16. Just in time for Halloween

Setting aside those who accept "The Craft" as a spiritual and cultural practice, most mainstream Americans no longer fixate on fear of witchcraft as an actual supernatural reality.

Even people who hold to general notions of God enjoy watching fantasy entertainment featuring witches, wizards, ghosts, etc. Taking those concepts seriously, much less taking a hard line stance against them isn't going to win their faction any political clout.

So, let 'em bang their gong against witches during the entire month of October when people are decorating their houses with black cats and jack o' lanterns and vampires. Squelching people's fun is always a sure fire way to earn votes.
