I hate fireworks.
This is, without a doubt, the stupidest holiday "tradition" yet, and for a holiday that technically isn't.
Do you realize that the declaration of independence was actually signed on July 2nd? And that blowing things up does not, in fact, mean anything other than annoying the shit out of your neighbors, terrifying animals and small children and just...
Have your picnics, your reminders of why being American is important to you, your celebration of that fact. Those things are far different. Those things are important and if the way we choose to celebrating is picnicking and barbecues and remembering, then go ahead and do it. It's not the holiday itself that I object to, really.
But why, GOD why, do we have to bring the firework mess into all this? You know that some of us are working, right?
