Some States Are More 'Independent' Than Others Today

Last night I enjoyed a fireworks display compliments of my neighbors. They must have spent a small fortune on fireworks, but it was a pleasant experience for all in the area. People sat outside and watched the myriad of different colors and enjoyed the show. This is because we live in Florida, a state, that for the most part is quite free and actually trusts it citizens to make good decisions when it comes to the use of fireworks as well as firearms. Contrary to the fear mongering of those who want total control in other parts of the country, there was no mayhem and the streets did not run red with blood. In other words, a good time was had by all with no drama. Now conversely, lets examine what is going on in the North, with an eye specifically on New York City by clicking here.

Yes, New York's mayor Bloomberg doesn't want to give New Yorkers the chance to act responsibly, because he knows what is best for them, not only with firearms, but also with fireworks. I wonder if there is a phobia name for those who are afraid of gun powder? Maybe he will try to head up a new group in the future called MAIF. (Mayors Against Illegal Fireworks) for his next traveling circus side show . MAIG (Mayors Against Illegal Guns) came to Orlando to try and rally support, but no one cared about Bloomberg's crusade against guns here in Florida except for a few Democratic politicians. Here is a quote about the event:

The event on Wednesday was sparsely attended, with organizers handing out t-shirts and collecting signatures for a petition in support of the Fix Gun Checks Act, recently introduced in the U.S. Senate.

Here is a quote from wikipedia about fireworks:

States such as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Delaware ban all consumer fireworks completely.

I am starting to believe, that the people who are controlling these states have a phobia against gun powder as well.

Florida is not perfect, but I would admonish Floridians to enjoy the freedom that we have today, because it could be worse.....we could all be living in New York.
