It is good to see that Galveston County has joined with other Texas counties to ban the use and sale of fireworks. With July 4th celebrations only hours away, it must have been a tough decision to make. Firework stand owners will be devastated this year having to kiss their profits away, but better safe than sorry.
We must all remember that a ban on fireworks should not dim the light of freedom we celebrate on July Fourth. It should help to exemplify the American way of life we sometimes take for granted. I for one will have no problem with the Galveston County ban on fireworks.
