"You got that right, all the US fireworks websites I see have the background as the US flag or have thec word patriot in the title(such as Patriot Fireworks)."
Well of course they do... The only time people really buy fireworks in the US is to celebrate The 4th of July... Independence Day.
"Fireworks should be banned. Or at least, they should only be available to buy for the first week in November, and even then only to people with a licence to buy and use them."
First week in November? You crazy? What are ya goona do light off fireworks for Thanksgiving? Not to mention everyhting is at it's most flammable then... Nay, if you're going to limit fireworks sales to one month only, and we discount July, then surely January is the best choice, when everything is frozen solid and in it's least flammable state.
And require a license? Jesus man! It's folks like that that got lawn darts banned, and made rules where you can't drive straight at one another in bumper cars. You're sucking all the fun out of life! Life's not supposed to be safe for sissies. That's boring!
Speaking of patriotism and fireworks, here in the US, one of those forest rangers went to a fireworks store and made them take down their giant inflatable eagle (the eagle being a symbol of the US) with the US flag emblazoned across it, that they had attached to their roof.
His reasoning?
It's illegal to erect statues of predatory birds that are larger than a certain size, because it scares away smaller birds.
