This is a very interesting question. I think that celebration is important to the human psyche. Moderation is equally important, obviously, but you can't shut off that escape valve completely. There will always be conflict, there will always be terror, there will always be death, destruction, and simple human misery. But "celebrate we will, 'cause life is short but sweet for certain." OK, the Dave Matthews Band quote is probably lame, but you see my point, no? ;) Hey! This is a very interesting question. I think that celebration is important to the human psyche.

People did something about it.

Still, there should be some responsibility shown when celebrating. I agree with you Nas that fireworks are better, but at this specific moment I'm still hearing a long round of gun shots nearby for some 'celebration'. Even with fireworks, they shouldn't be allowed at any place and time because they too can invade the privacy of others and cause distress for those not involved in the celebratory events.

It is supposed to be a duty to every student... those who celebrate this way do it probably because they passed it without study or because they thought they were not going to succeed... that I agree is a case to celebrate...

Fire works after 12 at night? Geez, you'd think a new Einstein is born!
