Or sets fire to a palapa roof, terrifies small children (or disfigures their hands). "I like the loud sound" said Mojo a double-digit Neanderthal.
"Then find a drum, light an M-80 and stick your head in there when it goes off".
Fireworks on beaches and parks are fine. I enjoy them.
"But if I wanted to listen to your music, I'll climb into your car".

Perspectives?? Sayulita used to be Tranquila before it became a Tourist Trap! You have been there, Lee? In a 5Star Hotel, no doubt. East Cape? You
really don't know the area. Thing is, you live/rent in an area that is still a quiet/tranquilo area. I really don't mind fireworks in an isolated
area where no one lives but you don"T/ not here in Pescadero! I think you just like the argument. Remember, we remember your posts and prior
opinions. R E S PE C T like Aretha sang. I have lived here for more than 10 yrs and own property. Keep it Cool. Tio

The local kids in town like to set off bombs made by putting muriatic acid and aluminum foil in a large plastic soda bottle. Traumatizes the hell out
of the local dogs.

Not only do I not understand why people like hearing "small bombs" explode but especially in such a tranquil place as Baja. Just seems odd to me.

I think it has a foundation in our violent culture. Kids are taught at a young age that guns and bombs are cool.
Another question that lurks in my mind; why do some women want an equal share of combat responsibilities?
Now....that's scary.

Nice try but nope....
It's an American tradition that celebrates the independence from England.
You have the FREEDOM to partake, watch or not.
Choice is always a good thing.

I agree with Tito. Personally I have dogs that are scared to death of the loud bang. They are not street dogs and explosions over a mile away get them
trembling. There are many remote spots with few domestic animals to scare and no palapas to start on fire- why cause trouble with the neighbors- there
are plenty of places to have "your fun" away from others who don't want to participate.

It's not a matter of watching. It's the freedom to hear the explosives, or not, which you selfish children deny me of.

If the music is too loud....your too old!!
Just buy some earplugs, go to bed and take your bottle of cactus juice with you and I guarantee you will wake up to enjoy another sunrise.
Selfish children?....does this comment make you a selfish old man?

I'm thinking fireworks because the 4th is coming up. Anyone with a problem is most likely unAmerican, hates Mom's Apple Pie, and America.
...the bombs bursting in air.... let's give thanks for the freedom fighters who didn't give a sheesh who they were disturbing.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

I have a problem but certainly not "unAmerican". I change out the American flag at my company every 6 months due to wind damage and then very humbly
hand the flag that's been replaced to a Marine who is so gracious as to dispose of properly. My problem is with wanting to set off "small bombs" and
terrifying unsuspecting animals and a lot of humans.

You really don't get it, do you? I can guarantee you that those "freedom fighters" dreaded the sound. Please show some respect Mr Lee, not only for my
country, but your neighbors and yourself as well. Have a safe Independence Day.
