Buy American
Friday, June 28, 2002
Dear Editor,
Clearly the loud banging noises caused by domestic fireworks is a sure sign of sincere patriotism.
The tremendous intellectual talent required for setting off daytime firecrackers is mind-boggling.
Yet, some states and cities have totally banned all fireworks!
Are we becoming a totalitarian nation where civil liberties and freedom of expression are outlawed? Let us pray not. Celebrate our freedom. Make as much noise as possible -- this will make our enemies the terrorists think twice before attacking our soil again.
And remember, don't forget to vote.
And buy only American-made fireworks.
