"I can't wait for this to pass. I feel like the nay-sayers are overreacting. Responsible adults have been sitting around bonfires since the dawn of time. Lighten up folks, it's going to be a great summer! Nothing like a fire pit to keep the mosquitoes away, and encourage everyone to get outside now and then."
