How do you feel about firecrackers?

My vote is for Option 1.  I've always hated them ever since moving to South Florida and living with German shepherds who were extremely sensitive to them.  They would just be nervous wrecks for the two weeks before and after the 4th of July and New Year's Eve every year.  And it made me wonder, what is this need so many people in certain parts of this country have to watch shit blow up?

Thoughts?

I think it is a guy thing...

when I was a girl I thought they were fun but scary...now that I am a mother they are dangerous hazards and should be banned!!

There was no option for:

"Love 'em, love to have other people spends hundreds of thousands of dollars and take the risk to set them off themselves so I can watch".

OK, that's kind of long, but it's my position.  I've been going to fireworks shows since I was a little kid.  I love 'em.  If my dog didn't like them and he was with me, I'd shut his ears throughout the show.

injest:
LOL! I love the pro shows too, Del...but she is talking about the kind that you buy and set off yourself...

The folks around where I live start setting off fireworks the last week in June. My dogs do not like the popping---mostly firecrackers. And they continue for a couple of days after the 4th. So that's a little annoying--especially since it's against the law in town. But does that stop anyone? Naw.

People set them off in the street by the side of my house---huge exploding showers and reports, etc.--it looked like a war zone at the end of the night last year. I go out in the country where some of my relatives live and set them off. Usually fighting off mosquitoes, our state bird.

When I was a kid, we played army with the firecrackers. Now I like the ones that go up in the air and explode in color.

Sometimes I go to the lake in Heber Springs, AR, where they set them off over the lake---to music. Really pretty! Very Americana.  :)
