I am in two minds about fireworks. Yes, I enjoy firework displays (my cousin usually puts on an excellent display each year). I have even been known to let off a few my self (it can be quite fun standing there for 5 minutes trying to light a rocket, only to have to run like hell when it ignites).

But, I can see the dark side. There are a LOT of people, young and old, who are terrified of fireworks. A lot of animals (both domestic and wild) are also terrified.

In recent years, we have had fireworks every weekend from about february on, hell, last year I even saw people firing rockets at our local safeways from one of the flats opposite. Luckily, the store was closed, and no one was injured.

I personally think the government is right to control the supply of fireworks.
