Just a quick comment.

While fireworks kinda' look cool, they are a complete waste of money, especially when you consider that most municipalities in this country are struggling financially in the awful economic climate we are living in.

Why should we be okay with cities spending thousands and thousands of dollars on some colorful explosions while they are laying off workers and cutting hours for their employees? Why should we be okay with cities spending thousands and thousands of dollars on some colorful explosions while they are cutting services to their residences? Or while they are unable to make payroll? Or while they are going into debt for these colorful explosions?

What a waste...

P.S. Yes... I did watch fireworks last night.
