"Noisy Bangers" -- Grrrrrr
Rant mode on/
Why do so many people find it necessary, not just on, but for days before and after, the 4th of July, to set off incredibly loud fireworks in crowded neighborhoods? Don't they consider the risk of setting someone else's home on fire, injuring animals, children or themselves, giving someone with PTSD severe problems, or causing a heart attack in an elderly person? They surely don't think of my cats, two with heart conditions, looking terrified and trying to hide anywhere they can, as it goes on, for hours, night after night. Last night, I'd had it. I stepped outside and screamed "Knock it off! Do you realize there elderly people in this neighorhood with heart problems? You moronic idiots!" They set off one last "F-You" blast, and stopped. Blessed peace for awhile. Rant mode off/ Ginger-lyn |

And I forgot to add:
If you want to be patriotic, celebrate America, be proud you are an American, how about putting down the fireworks and trying some of the following: Register to vote. Help others register to vote. Volunteer, for whatever cause moves you, be it at an animal shelter or for PETA. Write letters to your representatives and President and let them know what you feel about things. Join the military. Protest things you believe are wrong. Be kinder, every day, to each person you run into. Put the fireworks down, folks, and do something to truly make a difference. Ginger-lyn off the soapbox now |

I'm with you Ginger-lyn -- I hate the fireworks for the same reasons plus
we're in a drought and have had fires out here, so why not just the public displays???? Christine "Ginger-lyn Summer" wrote in message ...

Our "neighbors" (1/2 mile away) must have popped $500 worth of firworks last night. It went on and on. I almost called them and asked if they were aware how dry the prairie is between our house and theirs, with a stiff west wind, and how we *don't* have fire protection. Arrggh. Sherry |
