I hear fireworks more at Christmas and New years than I do fourth of July here in I Imperial Valley. Maybe in 3 years 2026 we'll have a HUGE freedom fest being America's 250th birthday

it's illegal where I live AND to be truthful too dangerous not willing to take the chances I'd rather go where the fire department is in charge AND experience with fireworks 🎆🎇

It's literally like taking paper money and catching fire to it! Then hope it's not a dud. I live a mile and a half from where "Fire in the Sky" is being held so I can just step out and watch them.

I enjoy just hearing the month long war zone inflicted on us by those who do.

No I won't, but my neighbor, and his family always invite me to their 4th of July party, and it has awesome food, people, and fireworks. And it's next door, so I don't have to drive or park. Just 300 feet away.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?

I personally don't care, but I understand why it is important to so many. I'm embarrassed how bad our 'top tier' athletes are doing. Is this the best we have? I've seen Disney on Ice, couple of those folks surely could have been available.

Anything covered by the mainstream media is not worth paying attention to.
