I love the fact that we celebrate our independence and all, but I'm soo against all the fireworks that are blasted off every stinkin' year!
I'M TOTALLY AGAINST THEM!
Not only is it a HUGE waste of money, it is a even bigger display of public pollution!
Hundreds and hundreds of pounds of fireworks are fired off every year around our fine country. The vast majority of them are made up of heavy metals (that's where the different colors come from) and as they fireworks burn - the various metals don't go away - they simply are oxidized in the air then fall to the ground/water and are dispersed into thousands of lakes and rivers and countrysides all over the country every year on the July 4th and January 1st....
Yet, if you are a US producer of a product, you'd better not knowingly release a single part/per/million of heavy metals such as copper, nickel, cadmium, chromium, etc. or you are labeled "an evil manufacturer trying to destroy the entire global community"!
Let's not even talk about the dozens & dozens of injuries that occur to 'handlers & bystanders' from them every 7/4th and 1/1st -- OR -- about the many grass fires started, house roofs that are damaged, cars that are damaged from their flaming fallout.
Anyone ever have any fireworks fallout land on their convertible top?
It's not pretty.......!! GGGGGGGRRRRrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sure seems like we, being an intelligent society, could come up with a smarter, cleaner way to celebrate our holidays.....
