Amazon has them on sale <| sep |> Sounds like something you would say if you don ' t WANT to work and don ' t have the means or motivation to acquire a skill set which is demanded by the employment marketplace . People like this author feel entitled to all the benefits of modern society , without the need to contribute , and grossly overvalue themselves . You want to restore the ancient , aristocratic privilege of leisure ? Go ahead . I assume you ' ll also respect the timehonored tradition of doing so without a TV , cellphone , car , internet , electricity , hot showers , modern medicine , and 1000 other privileges you take for granted . <| sep |> I ' ll be right over <| sep |> I don ' t see you arguing for doing the same thing with crackers . I have always supported and been part of a social movement against crackers . I have refused to burst crackers since I was 11 , stopped lighting Diyas since moving out of the house since I don ' t believe I need it for any religious reasons , and now celebrate only with colored LED lights . Maybe next step would be to get solar panels . As for bans and liberties Your liberties end where mine begin and I have a right to health and piece of mind . Firecrackers are enormously worse than cars on a per capita basis , which have far more utility , are far more costly and in turn heavily regulated and being made less attractive every year . When electric alternatives arrive I hope we will aggressively subsidize their adoption .
