There are many on this board who would agree with the state...  that playing with fireworks is "stupid risky behavior"  words like darwin get throw around.. talk of how much brain dead fireworks shooters lying in hospitals with no insurance cost us..

It is as bad as not wearing seatbelts or not having airbags for the shower.

I guess we get what we deserve... we elect women and womenly men and then wonder why we are treated like 10 year olds again.

Let's just forget about that whole wildfire thing... It's not really a problem.

hehe

In Alaska too?  Mother Nature is going to be at heaven's gate waiting for you and your brother so that she can spank both of your bottoms for putting up that abortion in such a beautiful place.

Most folks in the lower 48 cannot conceive Alaska’s size, resources, population density.  I’m sure that living in Bermuda makes it even harder to comprehend.  Bermuda’s population density is nearly 3,000 times that of Alaska.  Heck, Bermuda’s population density is about 20 times that of Anchorage alone!  Last year as much area of Alaska burned down to equal 20 times the area of Bermuda; in 2004 the area that burned was 500 times the size of Burmuda.  No matter what people do to Alaska, the vast, vast majority is absolutely untouched frontier.  Alaska still is what the Western Frontier was to America in the 1800’s.

All that fire and yet that "thing" you call a stand got missed?  Darn shame.

The cheesiest kitchy areas of Niagra Falls look like Beverly Hills compared to that.

I could care less about the safety issues or wild fire risk.  I just hate the fokkers who set that crap off at 3 am in the morning.

Read on CNN where a couple of people got shot (Wash and Ohio?) for setting off fireworks late at night.

I totally sympathize with the shooters.  I'd accept a defense of 'temporary insanity' after trying to sleep through that crap last night.  I had dreams of sniper rifles...

When I was a kid we used to have Roman Candle fights and fire bottle rockets at one another bazooka-style using the tubes from the inside of wrapping paper. Add to that fun with the old "flaming tennis ball pipe gun" and all I can say is I'm blessed to have escaped childhood without needing skin grafts.

These days I live in NC where all we are allowed are sparklers and the lame "fountain" style fireworks.  This was the first year I bought no fireworks at all as the legal ones are boring and expensive, and we don't have money to waste at present. The SC border is 1.5 hours away, so we had a lot of illegal rockets, M-80s, firecrackers going off all around us anyway.

M-80s are illegal in every state. Have been since 1966.
