Hi there,
Who on earth decided that we all must have taxpayer funded fireworks as our New Year's Eve celebrations?
Not me, I despise the waste and overcrowding created by such large public events, paid for by us of course.
No, I loved celebrating Guy Fawkes Day which was the Day Guy Fawkes attempted but failed to blow up the British Parliament, in 1605.As a child in Australia we grew up able to buy and set off our own fireworks and, no, very few actually got hurt at all. Some did, of course where people were erratic or careless but generally not. Particularly not in a rural town where I lived then.
We had the thrillof browsing and choosing what fireworks and rockets to buy and had the thrill of setting them off and watching them perform in our own front yards back then.
Wiser heads (NOT) took that away from us and it remains in Australia in
It was a wonderful night then, with the following morning being where kids raced around finding missed fireworks and ones that did not go off, a windfall of fireworks.Few cats or letterboxes suffered as only the idiots did that. Yes, there ARE more idiots today.
And what better cause could there be than blowing up Parliament? It was English Catholics who tried to do it but the culprit, Guy Fawkes, was caught,tortured and executed. Ain't religion grand?
And now we watch it all on TV or crowd as near to the site as we can,mostly all day.Insane.
I want my country back from the bloody do gooders and those that watch others having fun and working out ways to stop us.
