Subject: RE: 4th of July Hypocricy (was: OT Celebration)
Pretty much
most people have given in and said the hell with the fireworks -
they've been so harrassed about them on "public service" commercials, laws,
etc and when they go to a fireworks stand they see the prices for cheap crap
that spits some sparks and just say the hell with it. It's quiet here in
rural KY too and the local displays really suck. No more of the aerial
My dad used to tell me about 4th of July when he was a kid. They used to
play "war" games with roman candles, and not some little sissy version, but
2 ft long tubes that would shoot a fireball quite a distance. Everybody
with a gun would fire off a few patriotic rounds too.
Now to have a little fun you have to go to Iraq or something.
