I found a few news articles backing up what I said about the fourth "celebrations"
From The Oregonian
About drunken idiots on the fourth
About how police and fire fighters are so freaking busy trying to stop idiots from killing themselves on the fourth
So I don't think its liberal claptrap or draconian to suggest that fireworks be banned. People are too stupid and need to be protected from themselves.
Oh, and my neighbors are out doing them right now. Happy 6th of July.

What is The Compact?
1) to go beyond recycling in trying to counteract the negative global environmental and socioeconomic impacts of U.S. consumer culture, to resist global corporatism, and to support local businesses, farms, etc; 2) to reduce clutter and waste in our homes (as in trash Compact-er); 3) to simplify our lives (as in Calm-pact)
