Hunter, I agree with you totally...

I am sick of these rude people starting with the explosive noise a week or more before the 4th, and it continues for a week or more afterwards... I am sick of the fact that they are using ILLEGAL fireworks... I am tired of the fact that because our MIGHTY police department fines none of them, each year it gets worse. I am sick of needing to dodge burnt out firworks and sparkler wires the next day, so my car doesn't get a flat tire, because these jerks will not clean up after themselves... I am tired of the media boo-hooing over burns, injuries, and now and then a death from fire works, because idiot parents (I use the term "parents" loosely), let children who are too young, handle or have access to these dangerous incindiaries... I don't want my home or anyones for that matter, set afire by these idiots neglegence... OH I could go on, but I think you get the drift!!!

I want to see Springfield do the same thing that Roseburg has done.... But I don't think our council has the backbone to do it...
