2011 Fourth of July Municipal Fireworks - Low Sulfur Emission Year
Did you notice less sulfur smell in the air this year after the Fourth of July? I certainly did in our area, and I think I know why.
Severe municipal budget cuts in cities across America, including the cities around here.
Well, I guess the global warming alarmists and staunch environmentalists will be happy, it was a low-sulfur emission Fourth of July.
Still, the Fourth of July is very important for America because it gives us a chance to celebrate all we are and all we've built.
It reminds us of the great sacrifice that so many Americans have previously given to help us get to this point.
It's taken hundreds of years to build this great nation, and today we stand as the greatest country ever created; in fact, in all of human history.
Yes, our ancestors did that for us, it took generations, hard work, and lots of sacrifices.
The blood sweat and tears that went into this country are too numerous to mention, but at least we can celebrate on the Fourth of July and consider the enormity of that gift.
Yes, the Fourth of July really does matter, it matters very much.
We also need to be reminded what it takes to build and maintain such a great nation.
Whereas it has taken generations to get here, it could take less than a couple to lose it all and that's why it's important to follow our traditions.
There was an interesting article last month in our local paper here, perhaps you had a similar article in your area? The article was titled "Fireworks a Casualty of a Tough Economy - Indian Wells, Indio, DHS, and Coachella Cancel This Year" by Coburn Palmer published in the Desert Sun on June 30, 2011.
The article stated; "Only three cities in the Coachella Valley can afford the rockets' red glare this July.
Residents are either happy, disappointed, or saying - in these tough economic times - that money should be put toward something with more bang for the buck.
" Well, that seems to answer the question doesn't it, that's the reason that there was less of a sulfur smell in the air this year.
Yes, maybe it was the responsible thing to do in many of the cities which have had a huge layoffs and budget cuts, and yet, we need to celebrate our strength, and remember that we are Americans, and that this means something.
We should celebrate our strength, and not succumb to weakness!
