Or so they will tell us in order to avoid having a law passed.

Maybe a law should be passed prohibiting the use of pyrotechnics unless there is a sprinkler 
system.  With heavy penalties for both bands and club owners for violations.  You want 
pyrotechnics, you put in the sprinklers.  You don't want to spend the money on sprinklers, 
you can't have pyrotechnics.

Being careful when playing with fire is something most of us learned as kids.
