270 buckaroos for a bunch of hot air, literally, that lasts a couple of seconds? Sheesh. What a ridiculous waste of funds. That's about four tanks of gas. I'm very biased against fireworks/crackers because where I live, all the stupid wets are blowing off all their ordnance for two weeks before and two weeks after the Fourth, and on the Fourth itself it is like an utter war zone for about six hours. It scares all the animals, deafens all the people, and there is the constant threat of what happens when a bottle rocket lands on a roof or in a dry tree. I can't stand this moronic pasttime. 
Actually we didn't film the whole display, there was about 2 hours worth of show before my brother started filming, otherwise people on youtube would get rather bored quickly.
In the USA
America's earliest settlers brought their enthusiasm for fireworks to the United States. Fireworks and black ash were used to celebrate important events long before the American Revolutionary War. The very first celebration of Independence Day was in 1777, six years before Americans knew whether the new nation would survive the war; fireworks were a part of all festivities. In 1789, George Washington's inauguration was also accompanied by a fireworks display. This early fascination with their noise and color continues today.
preserving American culture of celebration.
Just because wetbacks do it doesn't mean we shouldn't, if wetbacks start waving American flags, should we no longer wave it?
Anyways, we have 2 houses, and we light off the fireworks on our private beach, so it's not bothering anyone. Everybody was blowing them off from their beach.
