Milagrito opines on the fireworks custom

Not everyone likes cat blogs, but if they were as well-written and reasonable as Milagrito's, everyone would. Here Milagrito finds fireworks a horrid custom.

The Chronicle on Saturday printed an article about local crackdowns on fireworks, referring to an "Independence Day arms race" in which individuals are seeking more and more boom for their buck, sometimes even charging neighbors for shows. A cop from the exurban town of Livermore says he sheepishly told people complimenting him on the town's fireworks show that "it was just people doing neighborhood shows."
