It is 1 hour and 14 minutes away from the 4th of July and I haven't heard one firecracker go off all week.
Where are they? Has the Guiliani/Bloomberg regimes been so successful at eliminating fun that no one dares light off a bottle rocket anymore?
Sad. Watching the Macy's Fireworks on TV was always for old people, if you wanted a really good show, you'd just sit on your stoop and your neighbors would blow your eardrums off and make your retinas dance.
I guess we're safer now, but not better. Bring back M-80s and screaming gypsies and all the other noises and colors that made July 4th special. Otherwise Independence Day becomes just another holiday like Labor Day but with more summer to go.
