In some places they love it. The reservations are the only place you can get the good fireworks As a kid we used to go to the Yakima (sp?) reservation in Washington State to get our fireworks, they had the good stuff! fireworks that blew up things They're making money off us palefaces
But seriously ask the Navajho (sp?) that served in WWII if they love the 4th of July, or any of the other native peoples that have contributed to this country.
