Ban necessary

I kind of hate to see a ban on fireworks. I have fond childhood memories of 4th of July celebrations, complete with adult supervision and a bucket of water. However, with our air quality here in Bakersfield, I suppose it is necessary.

Besides, have you seen the prices? The packages should read: safe, sane and "'spensive."
