Of course, the test was biased. The ban on popbottle rockets is becoming pretty universal. That’s sad. They were almost as good as the big ones for a fraction of the cost. I do like the fountains best, and my family calls my name as they light one, when I’m absent. I know this is all so dangerous. Then don’t let six-year-olds light the fireworks. You get to light when you turn fourteen. Doesn’t sound hard to me.

Yeah, the good fireworks are illegal here, too. However, there are alot of illegal fireworks brought in from Mexico. Sometimes, our neighborhood looks like a war zone because there are so many rockets shooting into the sky. It is fun, if they don’t get caught. The fines are pretty stiff. Where my mom lives, the entire street shoots illegal fireworks and it is quite a display. Helen, I think we are both great Americans. That silly test was biased.

Well, Jana. I guess you’re a better American than I am. LOL I must confess, I do decorate for the 4th of July and use red, white, and blue picnicware. I do love the fireworks we shoot off in Missouri. (Only the wimpy ones are legal here.) That’s the best use I’ve ever heard of for gunpowder.

Guess I have you beat just a lil. 56%
Most times you are proud to be an American.
Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe
Still, you know there’s no place better suited to be your home.
You love your freedom and no one’s going to take it away from you!
