@matigo What's cool is that we can sit in our neighbor's lawn and not only see the fireworks we let off but the fireworks in nearby neighborhoods.
However, one of the neighbors in the cul-de-sac who has a habit of being a party pooper came home and rudely asked us to stop. The police had already been by this evening (as people nearby were supposedly exploding the illegal stuff) so we decided to call it good.
@matigo There are plenty of places in the US where it is NOT legal for civilians to explode fireworks.
@japchap as you probably know, history is written by the victors. It also gets rewritten, so you have no idea what actually happened. ?

I believe we are a species with amnesia, I think we have forgotten our roots and our origins. I think we are quite lost in many ways. And we live in a society that invests huge amounts of money and vast quantities of energy in ensuring that we all stay lost. A society that invests in creating unconsciousness, which invests in keeping people asleep so that we are just passive consumers of products and not really asking any of the questions.

@matigo the last couple nights haven't been so great for me, either. Not so great when paired with a lot of social interaction between humans.
