You could become part of the dyeing breed to make it less obvious that you belong to a dying breed.

It's funny, but I'm sure I've seen more redheads around recently! Back in the UK, my brother-in-law is a bus driver, and one of the villages he goes through on his school bus route he estimates as having 50% red headed kids (the village of the damned, as he calls it).

But back to the main topic, I think that the use of fireworks is very over regulated here. I know the main difference between here and the UK is the fire threat - let's face it, it is very difficult to get anything to burn in permanent conditions of 7 degrees and drizzle.
In all seriousness, in the statistics I found, there were 25 people injured by fireworks in 2012. Surely there are greater fish to fry in terms of safety legislation?

Where? Worldwide?
A little more detail please. A link would be good.
The survey I just heard, 100% of those surveyed have been injured by fireworks.
