When you are looking at risk, > you really should evaluate ALL risks. I sure didn't expect anyone to try and defend that "dangerous activity" argument. Now you're making me wonder if they're aren't a whole bunch of you who need to get out more. Maybe you could spend a day with a contractor of some sort to see how the world got built. Apparently it's a miracle that all those high-rise windows get washed, and how all those TV antennas get installed. :-) I sometimes wonder if it's just me, or if the population in general is losing its mind. We have yuppies paying someone to mow their lawns, because they don't have time. But then they find time to join a health club. People playing "golf" on computers. A pox of gas guzzling SUVs, few of which will ever leave the pavement. Not to mention diet pizza, the ultimate bafflement. Now you tell me I shouldn't see the absurdity in statements that nuclear waste disposal safety can be worked out, but that installing PVs is dangerous. So I write a little humor, mocking those afraid to climb a ladder, and you come back telling me about somebody's broken toe. Good grief! One of my friends keeps telling me that we're headed for a time when everyone will be able to put together a Powerpoint presentation, but that nobody will remember how to check their oil. Maybe he's right. Can't risk burning our fingers! <G> Wayne "cheating death on a daily basis" www.ctaz.com/~wmbjk PS I DO get the point about evaluating risks, I just think it's one of the lamest raps on PV so far.
