When I was teaching government to eighth graders, I remember many interesting class discussions when the curriculum turned to the Bill of Rights. There was often exception taken by some students to my contention that although personal rights were stated in the Constitution, the founding fathers...

We should ban fireworks altogether? Crazies in the street, careless, setting fires. A man loses an eye.

I love the Fourth of July, mostly for the fireworks. As a kid, my family always drove to some hilltop to watch whatever fireworks were going off. To this day, I've never paid an admission fee to see the patriotic display.
