Playing with fire is generally irresponsible. But fire is reasonably predictable. Fireworks are not. They are often poorly made and don't perform as expected. And even the best behaves and most sensiblt kids fuck up royally at critical momnet, becaus they're kids.

Tonight I saw kids leaning over fireworks as they lit them, and I saw kids aged 11 and 9 with expensive (illegal in MI) mortar fireworks with no shoes and ...oh wait... actually no parent on site..... setting off two fireworks each at the same time except not actaully....., so one started fireworking while the other kid was still lighting his....
