what may or may not be hard reality

So I know all the things that make fireworks evil and I firmly support banning them. They're terribly expensive and wasteful, they're bad for the environment, they traumatize the dogs not to mention the wild animals, and I can't even imagine what it's like for people who've lived in war zones... but they sure are beautiful. *sigh* Few things make me stand in childish awe with my mouth agape the way a gorgeous display of fireworks does. My favourites are the dark blue ones that just look amazing against the black night sky. Happy New Year, people!
