Well, Happy Birthday America. Everyone living in our state knows where the best works are sold. It's on the "Tulalipo Indian Reservation" aka "The Rez" and "Boom City. These aren't your mother's firework stands. Oh no....Sure you can get your "safe and sane" sparklers and bottle rockets but if you know the right booth to go to and give the right 'password' to the right person , you can get some of their 'private stash'. They will bring out the REAL firework, the big dogs. We're talking about the M-80s, M-200 up to the M-2 billions. These are little sticks of dynamite that can really cause some serious damage if not used "properly" (From all I know, the only 'proper' use for dynamite is to destroy large buildings and excavate coal/diamonds/silver or gold)
The profit the Native Americans make is comparable only to that made by selling drugs. On an average they make a profit in the 6 figure range, if not more. The more booths a family has, the more money they make. What they pay .50 cents for, they can turn around and sell for $5.00. and here's something I find ironic as hell. What we call the "Birth of our Nation" the Native Americans consider being the death of theirs. Now they make a profit selling us the very materials we need to celebrate this day properly. What went around is sure coming back around big time. The first explorers from Europe ripped this land from the hands of the Native Americans..it was a horrible, bloody and completely UNFAIR war but turn the clock forward 200 years and now those Natives are making a killing of a different kind by selling us the very materials we need to make a good...no...a great party.
Those 'Settlers" tried to extinguish and squash the very life out of these beautiful people but they weren't able to. The natives were a strong and very proud, intelligent group of people and they came through that horrible time still standing.
The Tulalip Tribe has built one of the most BOMB (no pun intended) casinos in our country. When you go there, it is like you have left this world and gone to paradise (Otherwise known as Vegas). It is unbelievable that a small, quiet village of people who were trampled into the ground came back stronger than ever. I applaud their strength and passion. It is the birthday of our country but don't forget that there is probably another type of celebration going on at the same time.
Happy Birthday America and Congratulations to the Native Americans for surviving such a horrible holocaust and coming out of it so very proud and strong.
