I really like 4th of July. But I wish fireworks were illegal. Why can't everyone just buy a cake or have a house party and watch a movie or 2 and call it a night.

I've always thought that we do it because it's safer than firing guns into the air.

And to be fair, both options are safer than just walking around with a torch igniting buildings and people.
