Klaat, what's a "blue-boxer"?  I wear blue boxers sometimes.  Does
that make me a conspiracy freak?

Nope.  But people should already be afraid to have power lines
attached to their new houses.  Lines should be underground, which in
fact they are in most if not all new developments.  Safer, unlikely to
come down in a storm, and invisible, underground lines also emit far
less EMR.  Finally, your neighborhood looks a lot better without wires
everywhere.
