These pictures came in the mail the other day. They have nothing to do with the Fourth of July, Alan Greenspan, economics, or financial markets, but they do demonstrate just how insignificant fireworks and money really are in the grand scheme of things.

As stated in the original post, these images came in the mail. No source was cited by the sender. Now that someone has indentified their origin, I'm happy to provide the link at Rense, lest anyone remain under the mistaken impression that I photographed these myself.
