Just thought I’d return from vacation with a link to this timely column decrying restrictions on fireworks, which are safer than ever: over the last decade and a half, there have been between 8-10,000 injuries a year despite the ever increasing amounts of fireworks Americans are using.  According to one source, there has actually been over a 90% decrease in injuries per pound of fireworks since our nation’s bicentennial.  (For added humor, read some of the descriptions of the fatalities in the CPSC report, like the guys letting off bottle rockets in the dorm.)

So let freedom ring, and bang, and boom…just be careful doing so.
