Funniest conversation overheard this morning at Has Beans Coffee Shop:
Guy with hat puts down his Times-Standard in disgust: "Man, why do poor people like fireworks so much?"
Guy with beard: "It's all about power, man."
Guy with hat: "Huh?"
Guy with beard: "Power. They don't have any. They want some. So they light stuff on fire and blow it up and watch the sparks fly. It makes them feel powerful."
Guy with hat: "I see what you're saying."

Yes, anon., I agree that it's a huge form of entertainment to some people...but believing poor people like fireworks because they feel powerless? That's quite a stretch, no matter how many self-help psych. books the guy's read. I know plenty of people who aren't poor who really get off on blowing things up, too.
Very true Kristabel
Look at George W Bush He's lived his whole life dog paddling in a vast sea of wealth and nepotistic priviledge.
Blowing things up is something Bush obviously gets off upon.
