   Every July Fourth, America joins together in a celebration of the liberty
achieved as a result of the founding fathers' bold, radical Declaration of
Independence on that date in 1776.  This document proclaimed the American
colonies to be free of foreign rule, and affirmed the unalienable rights of
mankind which governments must preserve rather than suppress.  While the
liberty achieved was not perfect (ask a black slave around at the time whether
"all men" were really considered equal), on the whole, the United States has
achieved liberty and prosperity unmatched elsewhere, due in large part to the
sentiments of the Declaration.

   Americans celebrate this occasion in spectacular style, through the glorious
pyrotechnics of fireworks shows.  However, some don't like to just sit and
watch, so they set off firecrackers themselves.  This habit, unsafe when not
done by professionals, causes many injuries each year.

   So, here's our contribution to public safety; our Fireworks Construction Kit
lets you set up your own fireworks shows in the privacy of your home, without
any risk whatsoever to life or limb.  Choose what kinds of bursts you'd like to
see at what point in your show, and choose the (optional) background music from
a list of patriotic songs, then sit back and watch the show you just created.
You can let your show run once then terminate, or keep it running in an endless
loop to entertain all who pass by.  Let the fireworks begin!
