Yeah, that'll be a shame that a few additional people won't lose their fingers trying to light m-80's in their hand like what inevitably happens every year.

It usually happens right after 4 beers and a "hey dude, watch this!"

...we (our dogs and cat included) look forward to a peaceful, wild fire-free 4th of July (yes, we're surrounded by "patriots" who think sending up ariel fireworks over a bone dry desert is a good idea).

That will be a pity for Churches, since they profit from selling fireworks in California. Also a pity for people, that enjoy fire works. Unless people are willing to pay money.

Is this the same 4th of July that the far left claims shouldn't be celebrated because we are a bunch of white colonizer's?

Can't have it both ways. The "colonizers" (aka citizens of every race and background in this nation) aren't planning on letting China run the country... It's not theirs to run, and the "cheap stuff from China train" needs to stop, in favor of real jobs for real people who live in and are citizens of this very real country.

Necessity is the mother of invention as they say, maybe people will create their own fireworks in this country... Create jobs for our own citizens. Actually support this nation and it's people as we celebrate the birth of this nation.

Maybe churches can do bake sales for money more often or something.

The real American Patriots have enough AK-47S and ammo to shoot into the air that we don't need anything made in a communist country.

That’s some firework you’ve created by burning the straw man you set up.

Most people, that I know celebrate the forth of July, with fire works. Some are ancestors of Colonizer's and some are not. If a few extremists people complain about every little issue, it's not the majority of Republican and Democrats/ Liberals. My issues with fireworks, is that it make the air unhealth for a day, But I don't plan on ruining people's day. Fireworks pollutes bodies of water. Colonizer's is no brag.
col·o·niz·er
[ˈkäləˌnīzər]
noun
colonizers (plural noun)
  1. a country that sends settlers to a place and establishes political control over it:
  2. a person who settles among and establishes political control over the Indigenous people of an area:

Can't have it both ways. The "colonizers" (aka citizens of every race and background in this nation) aren't planning on letting China run the country...

People will still buy Chinese stuff and stuff from other countries. America company's choose this. For obvious reason's
So, it will still be cheaper to get stuff from other countries.
Necessity is the mother of invention as they say, maybe people will create their own fireworks in this country... Create jobs for our own citizens.
Companys tend to produce thing in other countries for reason, that I explained.
Actually support this nation and it's people as we celebrate the birth of this nation.
Christians are supposed to care about people from all nations. That's what God want's his people to do. God wouldn't want his people to be so hateful. They are supposed to set an example to everyone. But they're not .The true birth is before the Colonizer's stole this land. When they didn't need too. But feel free to celebrate the 4th of July. Everyone, that I know want's people to enjoy all holidays. And allow Native American to grieve for their loss of ancestors .
Maybe churches can do bake sales for money more often or something.
People want to buy fireworks, at firework displays, on 4th of July, It's a tradition . They don't want this fun to end. And they will buy it, even if it's expensive. No healthy person should be a bunch of some cupcakes or cookies, But China fireworks, with cupcakes and ice coffees will be a winner, where I live. Without fireworks, people will be mad and just leave.
