I'm sick to death of celebrating noise, bombs bursting in air, and war.

What this does to animals, people, and the fires caused is just, frankly, embarrassing.

on for a week or so after.

I don't have PTSD, but I think too many idiots are setting off fireworks.

Some years ago some idiot set off some kind of fireworks that landed in a barn that held the hay for the horses at the racetrack in Phoenix, AZ. Forget just how long it took the to get the fire out.
