[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 172001, member: 1697"] I suppose, if they were legal here, I might feel differently. JUst like I know my "anti gun" rule at my house can be rigid-----but becuz they ARE all illegal here, 1st we would be permitting the kids to break a law....which I do not think is good role modeling for my kids.and 2nd becuz it is against the law, we do not do it, and there is little opportunity to teach safety. Same with the guns, I never had a gun, have no interest (actually I was exposed, my father was a hunter and I hunted beside him till age 11 or so) but since I have no interest, I have no desire to teach the safety, I simply prefer to not permit it in my home. And kinda the same way someone else playing their music loud is irritating to some....I just get annoyed that so many of my neighbors who call and complain if my dog barks one bark----there they are out there all nite setting off these things that freak my husband out so bad and make such a mess for me to clean up. I find it rude and thoughtless. and with my neighbors behaving this way, I will never be in any hurry to ever vote to make the legal.....I sure would have rather used my energy to go to the parade today, but becuz these jerks had to have their fun all nite long, they robbed me of my fun. I also would have preferred to use my energy to be used for something other than picking up their litter from their fireworks.

I do not impose the schedule I keep on my neighbors (I always worked 2nd and 3rd shift) I do not impose my music on them, nor my religion or anything else.
