    Reader Poll

    What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

    That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
    I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
    It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
    It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
    I have no opinion.
