@@pearlsswine Well, John Adams when signing the declaration wrote to his wife shortly after basically all giddy regarding the day and its future: "it will be the most memorable and epic day in the history of America. I am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival... it ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore." Adams was actually talking about July 2nd, when the original copy was drafted, but the formal announcement and approval of its text happened on the 4th hence the holiday. Fun fact: the final version with the fancy calligraphy wasn't finished until early August of that year. And no it was not the original intent of the war, you would have to be stupid to think that but it was definitely expected to be a major celebration in the future of the country. If you are a government worker you get paid time off on any federal holiday, including the 4th. So it is technically a law that some people do not work on the 4th if it falls on a workday. I hope you learned something today 👍

I’m on the opposite side of the country. In a state where consumer fireworks were illegal until 2016. I hear less about fireworks related accidents since they’ve become legal. While I don’t think it’s okay to take our freedom away. It’s also not okay to let consumer fireworks off on a highway , or within an unsafe area. So , I feel every state state legalize consumer fireworks , but make the fines extremely harsh. If caught doing so in a way that jeopardizes life or property. Make the law where we have the freedom the United States is known for. But , make it really hurt if we don’t value others or their property.
Imagine live in Palos Verdes or Hollywood hill looking down at the city
Here in New York, a ton of them went off down in the city including Brooklyn are just setting them off like crazy and it continued into the night.
“Ruin our air quality” hahahahahahaha. Okay let’s all ride bikes to work too!

To the people that don’t like the fireworks. Next Fourth of July, when your sitting in your house annoyed by those fireworks. Think about all the men and women that have given their life for your freedom. They were probably more annoyed at the big explosion they had to sleep too day in and day out. That’s the reason we display fireworks, To remember and praise the ones that gave it all, for YOU and for me.
