drs I understand where you are coming from. But, you do not see much done about "MULTIPLE DWI OFFENDERS" until some innocent bystander gets killed. It's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. You are certainly correct! |

"There is simply too many liberal judges in Indiana to inforce this fireworks thing. The companies that sell these dangerious items line the pocket of our local & State lawmakers inorder to sell them."
where do you come up with this stuff? Rush Limbaugh?

I always thought of stupid people lighting fireworks as natural selection. Good way to get rid of those swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool. Reminds me of when I was growing up in Pennsylvania. Guy buys a house down the block from me. Spends thousands re-sodding the yard. The yard looks absolutely gorgeous. So, on the 4th, he's got these huge fireworks. Lights one of them, throws it in his yard and it puts a 2 foot crater in his front yard. Even as a younger kid, I remember giggling my butt off at the stupidity of an adult.

I have several Friends, that are Doctors, and they tell me the E.R. is full of people with injuries, due to misuse of fireworks during the 4th of July, and a few day's after. It's bad now just wait untill they make it legal and more and more people misuse them.  |

DRS, not meant to be a personal attack towards you....you might be a very positive person, but it seems like everytime I read a post that's got this "Wooo is me....." or "the sky is falling" slant, the author is you. I dunno, maybe this site is where you feel you can vent all your bottled up frustrations... If I were you though....I'd talk to some of those fance doctor friends you mentioned and get checked for ulcers......
As far as fireworks go..... why not ban motor-vehicles so that people don't get hurt using them too? It's all about self-responsibility. Without all those E.R. visits your friends wouldn't be raking in the $$$ that E.R. physicians do! They should be begging for Indiana to legalize the fireworks.

I don't know why they shouldn't be legal but can see them making it legal and only selling to adults. You know 18 and up. I know that doesn't solve anything cause if little jimmy wants them his mom or dad will get them for him. I don't like the big fireworks being set off in town or close to houses. I do know that I set them off but we take them down to the river by our cabin and have the whole family over and set them off over the river. I say we are resposable but even if you are some times things happen and someone gets hurt. I thank the Good Lord that no one has gotten hurt when we do it. But we try to make sure nothing happens that would get someone hurt. There are like 2-3 of us that shoot them off and everyone else is about 50ft away behind us and we shoot them in the other direction. I have had friends get hurt by sparklers more than anything else. The only thing I am worried about is if they make them legal will they start charging more for them. I would think they wouldn't but who know's. They will probably put a tax on them so they can make more money off of them. Like I said I can understand both way's but I also think its a crazy law when everyone breaks it during the 4th.
