    Fair enough, but why does every single person need their own firework? That connection is conpletely lost then

      I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but whenever we do fireworks on the 4th or New Year’s, it’s with a group of a solid 15-30 people. I don’t think we’d ever set off fireworks by ourselves

        Yup, we have a solid 30 people put together a show. It catches on fire every year and it is awesome!

      Every single person needs the opportunity to get their own firework and contribute. We’ve never had a rule like “everyone needs their own firework”.

      Everyone needs the option. That is important. It’s not important that everyone takes it, but it’s important everyone is given the option.

        I just don’t get it. It terrifies people’s pets, and the wildlife outside, it’s incredibly noisy (meaning you can’t get away from it if you live near someone doing it), and it produces tons of waste and pollution. Can’t we just have a big BBQ like we do the rest of the year when we celebrate stuff?
