It's a Chinese plot to destroy America!
That's why they invented gunpowder and fireworks.
Isn't it obvious?
If you give people freedom and gunpowder and fireworks, they will eventually blow themselves up.

I love it. Actually it's one of my favorite things about this state.

Once a year everyone is basically like "F the government"

I'm to cheap to by them myself, but if the neighbors want to go off I'll sit outside with my fire extinguisher and enjoy the show.

And people pay huge amounts of money for this addiction to explosions and noise.

Government should not have to protect people from their own stupidity, yet here we are.

the pollution this silly tradition produces destroys the aina. We need a study done by the Surfrider Foundation to see how this silly tradition effects our beaches...funded entirely by our tax monies. Then we need legislation to ban this tradition along with all fireworks displays. All we need is a picture of a honu with a firework up its nose.

Every year my neighbor behind my house sets off about $100,000 dollars worth of aerials.  It's a great show, he buys the good stuff that looks like the professional fireworks shows.

Some of his spent aerials land on my roof and it can smolder and burn my house down while my wife and I sleep.  Whoo Hoo!

But this year there was none to be seen.  He stopped.  All the propaganda on the news probably made him nervous.

I slept like a baby last night.  I used to party, drink, and set off fireworks in my younger days.

Now I don't give a sh*t, Lol!
