Today's post will not set well with everyone but that's okay because even if it makes a person angry maybe it will also make them think. It is time to call the fireworks associated with the 4th of July what they are,violent and wasteful,oh and repetitive. There are so many reasons to permanently discontinue them I could go on for days though for the sake of brevity I will only list a few. Everyone knows that many vets and pets become extremely agitated by the noise and flashes but birds and fish are also endangered by the debris that is produced. Now,to play the devil's advocate...who benefits? That is the real question as the people who pack an area to "enjoy" the show are never surprised unless it's their first time because there is very little new with fireworks since they added color in the 1830s and never mind the yearly injuries and fires caused by the "celebration". I think it's time we as a country find a different way to celebrate instead of pretending to be a war zone for one day.
