I think July 4th sucks. All the fireworks, loud bangs, on top of the sub woofers of the typical night is just to much for me.In Michigan you have to have a licence for anything that leaves to ground, including bottle rockets so it significantly lowers the amount of noise. On occasion you have people who go down to Indiana and buy illegal fireworks by the trunk full and bring them back to Michigan.
As I was laying in bed last night, already having enough trouble sleeping because of the trauma my ex-fiance’s lies have caused me all I could hear is boom, bang, boom, bam and I got down right sick of it. I can already hear every time someone pulls there car into the parking lot, every time someone opens and closes the door and the conversation of those above me and next to me.
And to be honest, are we really free in the United States? It seems like there are so many prisons we set up for our own people, discrimination, and all that other crap in our society.

I like to see fireworks, especially if they have bright and unusual formations.
I don’t like to hear them, particularly if they blow up at night and I never hear of any official firework celebration.
Agree with that last paragraph. I went to a session called American Perspectives: Hope and I thought of the ways that American restrict their citizen freedoms. I would have asked a question about identity politics but I wasn’t quite brave enough! Guataremo Bay seems the most obvious.
