No to fireworks dumped from the sky on all that we hold dear. No to people who view it as a freedom and right to dump on their neighbors without even offering to clean up the mess. No to being forced to stay home to protect our home. No to broken relations with nice neighbors whose personalities suddenly change on the Fourth.
Yes to restoring freedoms to all of us. Yes to finding out what other city charities do to make money without fireworks. Yes to a total ban on these explosives at least as far as Oregon has done. Yes to allowing my wife and me to travel or go to the Vancouver fireworks. Yes to the hope that reasonable people still exist. Yes to enjoying a place of wonderful beauty and friendly people … even on the Fourth.
