Where about did it say it was about santa claus? I read 'Lying to children, acceptable or not'...? Did I miss something?

I don't know, but I don't understand where you're coming from.

Are you saying it's good to lie to kids in order to hide that 'the world can be a very cruel and dark place, full of sickness and misery and death'?

And that they'll necessarily become morose and depressed? (Why does that follow?)

I just think there are some things kids don't need to know about until they've gained the emotional and intellectual maturity to be able to deal with them is all.
