It's Independence Day on the Moon, too
The Ministry would like everyone to have a happy, explosive filled, and thunderstorm-free Independence Day. If you are in Ohio, achieving this will be rather difficult, as the last two options are nigh on to unachievable thanks to the vagaries of weather and an Ohio's nanny-minded legislature. The only legal fireworks in my homestate are now, sadly, smoke bombs and sparklers. Sad. The day we celebrate our independence, we are not free to buy rockets and explosives to celebrate. A small lesson that we should take to heart is that independence and freedom are not the same. Perhaps we should institute a Liberty and Freedom day, to drive home the point.
In the meantime, though, celebrate America's independence as best you can, wherever you are. And next year, the Buckethead will remember to stop in somewhere truly freedom loving, like West Virginia or Pennsylvania, to buy lots of fireworks before getting to Ohio. In this way, he will bring joy to his many nieces and nephews, rather than ridicule and derision upon himself for not thinking of it.

You guys are so far behind. Not only is it tomorrow in Australia already, but we celebrated independence day nearly six months ago ;)
Well, try to have fun anyway. Maybe you can borrow someone else's fireworks. Although if they light the fuse, then say "hold this for me", you should politely refuse.

Here, and rightly so, the legislature is mostly afraid that some jagoff with an M-80 will burn down the state, which means nobody will come and ski next winter, which in turn will result of the collapse of the entire mountain west economy, creating a black hole that will drag the entire U.S., then the world into a strange Mad-Max-meets-Kevin-Costner (oh wait, that's been done...) setting where human life is worth less than, say, a really good sandwich.
Sorry, what was the question?

Michigan's fireworks laws are also fairly repressive. Which is why I celebrate freedom by purchasing fireworks in other states.
It was only coincidence that our vacation out west took us through South Dakota on July 3rd, but a happy coincidence it was. Kaboom and then some...

I don't want to come off as a sharpshooter here, but it doesn't seem the Moon can celebrate Independence Day at all, seeing we conquered it in 1969.
And with the Moon, as with all things touched by humankind, the Stratego Rules apply: if our flag is on it, it's ours.
We ought to celebrate July 20th as Moon Conquest Day.

We conquered the Confederacy, but they still celebrate Independence day on the 4th. Likewise the formerly Mexican bits of the US, and Puerto Rico.

Hey you're right, they ARE stupid.

I got rained out in PA last night. Horrible stuff, but the Amish were out in force, very cute. Why do the boys like white suspenders? (Actually more like braces with the button clips.)
