In reply to:
a LOT of people buy enough fireworks to blow up a WW II submarine, and they start the celebration July 1st and stop on July 7th.
When I was a kid, I HATED loud noises. Now, I don't mind them at all if I know they're coming. But I still get twinges thinking about an M-80 going off close and unexpectedly. I think some fireworks just really go too far beyond what I think should be legal.
NH was the first state I've lived in that legally allowed fireworks, and I swear there's less of them here than in the different places as I was growing up.
