be careful of your local laws....

seems here in green bay wisconsin...the laws on fire usage are....very...tight...after talking to a lieutant, he was required to actually refer a report to juevenile services...he aksed me to post the letter I wrote to him apologzing though, so......(((Lieutenant Wilson,I would like to apologize for my poor attitude, and the lack of respect I had shown on the day when we first met. I would like to take back my actions and replace them with more appropriate signs of my acknowledgement for your concern. I know that I came off as a delinquent youth with no respect for those who not only have the power to command, but are both kind enough and willing enough to look out and offer an insightful glance at the dangers of something foolish I did. The results of a depressing day at my school, problems with my chain of friends, and the sudden surprise of our meeting when I simply wanted to be alone and relax didn’t at all help my poor attitude. I should say that after hearing more information, verified information, from an official source such as an actual fireman, it did sink in. It struck me off at the moment as repeating what I had already read, even if by my reading all I had done was look at the words. I am asking you not to judge me from just one day. Every person reflects attitudes differently, and my attitude on the surface was built up from that day, and not the meeting with you itself. I appreciate the time you have taken from your day to speak with me very much about the stupidity of something I had not taken seriously. After speaking with you I talked more with my parents and had a conversation with my brother, who also advised me of how dangerous what I was doing was, and also reckless of my surroundings. I believe there has been a large misunderstanding last we met. I never meant to come across as rude but rather frustrated with the moment and preceding of my day. Presented with the real presence of prosecution for a phase of risk taking and thrill seeking, I am now more than willing to prevent and discourage myself or anyone else from ever trying these sorts of things. After speaking with you I now understand the reasons for the ordinances and the importance that they hold. I know the act itself may have been interesting once or twice, but with serious consideration, it is not worth the health risks, the risk to the surroundings, the risk of jail, or the risk of those around. It seems simply stupid. I’m glad you were able to present this to me before anything damaging could happened. I hope you understand that I never had any bad intentions. I was simply trying out a new idea that looked interesting and exciting. After taking a step back, getting input from people close to me, and letting a professional source inform me, I see that it is a very dangerous practice that should only be done by professionals and not curious teenagers. I hope that you can understand my resolution and accept my apology. Sincerely,Eric J. Schwalbe )))
