All that money up in smoke

Every Fourth of July, the fireworks stands go up. I know these are good fund-raisers. Add up all the money spent across the country — only to go up in smoke!

I am appalled at the amount that is spent on these dangerous hazards that cause many injuries and fires. For a long time I have thought fireworks should be banned. Some fire departments are selling them. That is ironic.

There must be other worthwhile fund-raisers that are not dangerous!
