Celebrating The Birth of a Nation
"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."


Across the great nation of the United States of America people everywhere celebrate the freedoms that they enjoy, the history, government, and traditions of the United States with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events.

A holiday for blowing things up? Yeah, the whole day is like candy to Crosshairs.
She gets a few fireworks from the local stand - so she can take them apart and do the chemical analysis to figure out what they use for different colors and intensities, then spends the week before the holiday making her own fireworks.

Her display is not legal in any sense of the word. She doesn't have anyone's permission. The fireworks themselves are unquestionably threats to life and limb. And true to the old adage, she loses several fingers, and puts her eye out a couple times over the process of lighting them - this usually results in the missing digit or eyeball getting strapped to the next high-explosive bottle rocket while she grows a new one.

Regardless, though its only so long til she has to abandon it once the police locate her very hard-to-get-to launching pad, its still by far the most spectacular fireworks display New Yorkers get to see tonight.
