Pretty much most people have given in and said the

fireworks - they've been so harrassed about them on "public service"

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 "booms" that used to be part of the aerial
displays - our wonderful city and county governments have restricted
their use to just at dusk, so as not to piss off any of the people
that don't give a rat's behind and want to go to sleep at 8pm and not
be bothered.
You can blame the irresponsible cretins who haplessly set fire to their
neighbors' houses, and the over-reacting city and county councils that
enacted measures banning fireworks because of this.
