Fireworks

Ok how stupid is this? The government wants to BAN fireworks because there are hoodlum teens going around throwing fireworks in people's mailboxes and starting fires. And, quelle shocking, there are FIVE TIMES more fires during Guy Fawkes than normal times... so the poor fire service is hella busy too. So the answer to this shocking vandalism.... BLAME fireworks.

Oh it also turns out that youth who have been out on the turps are getting unruly when drunk. And, quelle terrible, there have been assaults on policemen, violent crimes and hospital visits! So the answer to this shocking vandalism... BLAME drinking.

In an unrelated anecdote, I re-watched South Park: The Movie recently. The children there watched an R-rated flick and picked up all sorts of bad potty mouth language and used it recklessly. And, quelle horror, they used it against their school teachers and parents! So the answer to this shocking vandalism... BLAME canada.

There's a pattern here but I can't see it past all this ganja smoke...
