Let's shoot gun powder explosions high in the sky. Pollute the air. Scare animals and fish—and force people with PTSD to cower...while we watch the gun powder colors explode for hours and hours.

It's fucked up. It needs to be stopped. Sparklers are one thing, but the whole firework thing is WAY out of hand.
