They are a pain in the ass. They are destructive by nature. But I have lived in countries where there were fireworks set off every morning for birthdays, businesses, anniversaries, et cetera. So once a year (and New Year's?) ... twice a year isn't too bad. But they are dangerous. And if you live in a drought stricken area it is fearful. But this country is largely based on firearms, slave labor, intoxicants, and freedom to "here hold my beer".
