I suppose the English don't put much stock in the American
independance day celebration do they ? Nope suppose not.
The Chinese people use kilo tons of explosives each year to
celebrate the new year and the Mexican people use them for
their own Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Do the French use
fireworks on Bastille day ? I've seen several photos of
fireworks with the Eiffel Tower in the picture.
