Re: Light Bulb Question

George, I couldn't agree more, unfortunately between the lawyers, the
lawsuits and the liberal politicians that support them, we are no longer
responsible for our own actions. If you buy a device with a blade and find a
way to cut yourself, It's the manufacturer's fault. If you buy something
that heats and manage to burn yourself, it's the manufacturer's fault. By
cultivating a mentality that "our" safety is someone else's responsibility,
people today no longer THINK about common sense dangers
