Is this unwise?  I have an indoor fountain/waterfall with a grounded

You can buy a new outlet for a dollar or two, made in China crap that
won't last a year. Such is life, replace all those dangerous two pin

out after a year. Why is it that non grounded outlets were used for a
hundred years without problem, but now are dangerous?
