Re: Fireworks shows need new environmental review Court ruling could have sweeping im
If there's a forest fire most anywhere it would trump whatever nefarious effects of the smoke... Seriously, if environmentalism continues getting carried away as it's been, where's the end???
Ya... it'll be reasonable first, as an "assessment" and then there will be a drastic exageration of the impact and eventually each state will only be allowed 10 bottle rockets on the fourth of july, and there will be a massive climate luxury tax so those 10 bottle rockets will cost more then the entire shows we see today...
Ya I know... and it'll probably get worse before it gets better.
Ya, BIG DEAL... any ashes settle to the ground, and the smoke dissipates... not to mention that in the hundreds of years that people have been using fireworks there's yet to be any significant impact, except for those accidents like in that video.
Ok, you care about that, but meanwhile you'll allow companies to put things like anti-freeze into food products to offset other toxic chemicals (in very low-doses)... no comment on the GMO studies that cause up to 100% sterility by the third generation of consumption, no comments when it comes to true toxic pollution, no worries for radiation... but a little bit of ash and some smoke and these people all got their boxers in a bunch.
Yes, and I hope that doesn't wind up happening... or we'll end up in a :

Good. Patriotism should include protecting the environment.

Like many things, depends on how it turns out. Filing paperwork to set off a few bottle rockets is unreasonable but if a city puts on a giant show I don't see why they shouldn't consider the local area in terms of pollution.

I know where it's at, the fact it's HAPPENING AT ALL...
Is what is amazing.

Ever been to Disneyland at about 10:15 at night?? For about 9 months out of the year.. They have a firework display that is rather large every single night.. I lived in Westminister for a number years.. I used to climb up onto my friends roof and we would sit and watch it..
People light fireworks off for other things besides the 4th of July.. Just saying..
In either case.. I just go to the indian reservations now..

I'd imagine there are a lot of toxic substances in some fireworks in order to give off the colors that they do.
If it's a big show then local air, water, and land quality will be affected as the debris settles.
This doesn't seem all the unreasonable.

enviromentalism is a movement that requires-as a byproduct-government control of private property
it soon becomes taken over by those who see government control of private property as the main goal rather than a byproduct
