tragically, weatherman loses eye in American Fireworks Fetish ritual
I once had detached retinas. They ended my softball career, and threatened me with blindness. Thanks to the doctors ! They saved my eyes through surgery. The whole experience made me soberly consider how life might be being blind.
Tragically, a local weatherman in the Detroit area, lost one eye to some kind of fireworks while vacationing in Kansas over the Fourth of July weekend, as I understand it from news reports.

May medical research discover a way to make new eyes !
The American national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" ,of course, has the words
O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
So, the official song of the Nation is about the American flag, spangled with stars, flying in a battle of war lit up by deadly projectiles full of GUNPOWDER exploding. There may even be a poetic suggestion that the stars on the flag are themselves bombs full of gunpowder bursting in the air as well as stars in the sky.
Well, as we all know, thus the FIREWORKS on the Fourth of July symbolize a war zone battle with exploding deadly bombs in the air.
So, this is a perfect ritual to what I call the AMERICAN NATIONAL GUN FETISH OR GUNPOWDER FETISH.
the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air...guns everywhere.
Take it from me . I'm an anthropologist. I know a fetish when I see one. (smiles)

Charles Brown Violence against minorities = liberty for white people/////// That was the original true purpose of the 2nd Amendment. Arm the white populace to annihilate Indigenous Peoples and repress slave revolts, thereby liberating the land and agriculture cash-crop wealth exclusively for white people.
