i also hate fireworks. when we were kids, there were laws specifying two or three nights a year when they were allowed. now every neighbourhood seems to have some idiot who shoots them off three nights a week from may to october (at least that's true in NS). not only do they terrify non-human animals, but they annoy those of us who go to sleep before 11 pm... and don't like the sound of explosions in the sky.
moreover, given that some people who aren't me love fireworks, doesn't it ruin the novelty and celebratory angle?
back to air shows. i hate them. always have. when they crash trying their fancy tricks, i get the same warm feeling in my stomach that i do when hunters shoot other hunters accidentally, or when zoo animals eat a taunting tourist. uh oh... did i really say that?

good posts on the subject, sw.
If you feel warm when hunters shoot other hunters AND when warm mongers have bad things happen to them, then you'll love this. That had to hurt.
