I closed my eyes and pretended i was in iraq during the fireworks. It seemed like a more honest way to come to terms with what america really stands for. I thought about the absurdity of civilian america gathering in large groups to watch large explosions in the sky while american soldiers are across the globe are being subjected to a similar, albeit more deadly show. Then i thought about how all the random explosions throughout minneapolis during the last week might have affected anyone suffering from war-induced PTSD. It all seemed a little gaudy to me.
