Fireworks are freedom?
#18
RE: Fireworks are freedom?
Fireworks are a cheap ploy to keep people happy. It doesn't mean anything; a flag is piece of cloth, fireworks a dangerous toy, a medal/trophy is a celebration of ones actions. What does all this have to do with fireworks? If you think about it, to many people fall for this type flattery. If we use logic, all these things separate us from what it important in life. Being the best in something cause you have a medal means nothing. People can get a trophy/medal for eating the most food items. Should we really be rewarding such behavior?

As fireworks are concerned, they make a huge mess along side causing people's pets scared. Has far as the 4th of July is concerned, be modest and don't be the idiot who buys a bunch of fireworks cause your a proud American. Instead, just have a modest thought about how George Washington helped create a new nation. Don't let his fake great all around historical appearance fool you. He was a man with a lot of flaws, as all of them where.

I'm only posting the prior paragraph because I know some overbearing proud American will say "Fire works were displayed when we became our own nation." or something like that. I'm aware of the Star Bangle Banner, and I'm not trying to pick a fight with any so called "Patriots". In short it's not a good idea to trust people buying fireworks for the 4th of July, and or any other time.

I don't have many happy memories of the 4th of July, once you see it once there is no need to see it again; we should be smart enough to realize that parlor tricks of chemistry is nothing to impressed about. Leave it to the professionals to set off fireworks and do not attempt to build your mortar to launch them.
