DENVER- Gov. Hickenlooper has ordered a fireworks ban across Colorado.

Authorities will be working hard to enforce the rule, but what exactly is allowed and what's not, and what's the penalty for refusing to follow the ban?

I am not fan of Hickenlooper. He is a socialist leaning liberal. But I could go either way on the fireworks ban. I am older and grow quite tired of people who just won't grow up. Fireworks are like dogs. Someone who enjoys them thinks everyone should enjoy them and force them down your throats. They are irresponsible in the use of fireworks and their pets. Hickenlooper is a in no win situation. If he allows people to enjoy fireworks for the 4th with no personal accountability and something catches fire he is a goat. If he bans fireworks then he is an unAmerican a*@. I think I would allow them and if the drunken, Haliburton male pods burn a house to the ground then sue them and send them to jail. I think we have laws that cover arson. If we lived in a mature, responsible society a governor of a state should not have to "ban" fireworks. People would just recognize it is a tinderbox and celebrate in some other way.

So the drought is now a liberal plot to ban fireworks. They must have a lot of power. If anyone would care to do a little research on how dry it is, you would find it is one of the driest Junes on record. But hey if you want to shoot of fire works go right ahead, and if you happen to start a fire, enjoy your new roommate.
