Fireworks are brilliant. I think you live somewhere with cultural issues... people reserve the right to party and annoy everyone else...
They have their time and place - and 2am sounds more like problms with arseholes, not Fireworks.
They should be banned after 9pm (except for New Year - extend until 00:20 for that).
I've been witness to some amazing displays that bring tears to my eyes they were so awesome. The most memorable being ones that I'm close enough to feel the pressure wave, a truly trouser flapping experience.
The big issue I have with "reserve the right to bother others" is that others includes animals, elderly people and small children, all of which may be really bothered by fireworks. A lot of birds die during fireworks every time, for example.
I don't really get anything from fireworks, they all look the same to me.
