[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Setting off fireworks illegally is pretty much THE single most American thing a person can do on Independence Day, short of enlisting in the military. By setting off fireworks illegally, you’re embracing the same spirit of rejection of authority and exercising self determination to do what pleases you as the people who told The British Crown they were no longer the subjects of the King. Sure, fireworks are a little less dramatic than throwing a revolution and killing redcoats - but the spirit is the same. Someone in authority wants to control you, and you reject their authority. It makes me smile to see people openly using fireworks in places where they’re banned. Because it tells me there’s still a spark of that rebellious nature that created this country.
