Common sense gone

It's time to do it, folks, time to ban personal fireworks. The common-sense factor is gone, and it's a different time and place. The environment is in shambles and so is our economy. We can't keep spending money we don't have to overstaff fire and law enforcement to cover this. Don't forget, by some measures we have the worst air quality in the nation.

Time to rethink things, people. What future are we giving our children and generations to come?
