Aloha Derek Costa:
It is not the Chinese who set off a string of small firecrackers on Chinese New Year’s Eve, or at a wedding reception that are the problem. Those are cultural traditions.
It is the wannabe terrorists who build and detonate bombs to terrorize their neighbors for months leading up to the haole New Year’s Eve, none of which has anything to do with the Chinese tradition.
I hope you realize that the Chinese no longer allow firecrackers or fireworks at any time in China’s cities. They are willing to give up their tradition in the interest of public safety.
A total ban is more enforceable than what we now have. And if we confiscate the ships and planes that bring in the illegal bomb-making materials, we could soon solve our problems.
And we could still allow the Chinese to set off a string of firecrackers on Chinese New year’s to frighten away the evilspirits, legislators, terrorists, bombers, et al.
