<p>People have already explained why they don't like fireworks. Have
you not been reading this thread?</p>
<p>Look, you might not approve but someone asking for this
accomodation but that's none of your business. How would you like
it if other blind people trashed your request for an accomodation?</p>
<p>This is the worst thing about the NFB. We don't support each
other. We're always pointing fingers and accusing each other of
not being good enough blind people. Other advocacy groups don't
have this problem.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Why would we even think of asking them to
stop firework celebrations? Fireworks have brought joy to
families for years and years. One thing we always need to keep
in mind is that the world is not required to cater to us
because we are blind. Are we entitled to the same
accessibility and the same independence of life as our sighted
counter parts? Yes, we are, but that does not mean that if
something bothers us or our dog the world has to change.
Sometimes if something bothers us, we just should not go. Many
times, it is us that needs to take responsibility for our own
actions. The world does not need to be responsible for our
actions.</p>

fireworks are done with CGI.</p>
