[ARC5] [BoatAnchors] 125 VAC Line? Make Your BA's Happy, Cheap.

[Arden Allen]

> .......Just as a point of interest, the number of electrocutions through
'playing with' 230 Vac is almost negligible. It is virtually
impossible even for idiots to get across the mains - modern connectors
make touching live circuitry extremely difficult. This is not the case
in the USA.

You speak the gospel truth, Brian.  Designing for safety is treated in 
America as a crime of psychotics and socialists and it is the patriotic duty 
of every American to live dangerously by owning and using shoddily made 
electrical appliances.  Every safety improvement made in American products 
has been done under threat of litigation, not by our elected representatives 
working to give us a safe and healthy environment.  It's been a rich harvest 
for product liability lawyers for decades.

He who is cruel to animals becomes
hard also in his dealings with men.
We can judge the heart of a man by
his treatment of animals.
