I've never managed to cut anything off my body I didn't intend to,
neither did my father in a lifetime of woodworking, neither did my
uncle in a lifetime of woodworking. Why? Because we all learned that
whirling metal blades of death meeting flesh is a bad thing. We
learned how to work safely, we learned that if you do something that
feels dangerous, chances are that doing it at all is wrong. You know
something? That's what kept us all safe. Not having nanny-equipment
that doesn't let us be stupid, but learning not to be stupid in the
first place. That's really where I object to all this anti-stupidity
equipment that has come along. It doesn't teach people to be safer,
it teaches them that they can be idiots, the equipment will keep them
from having any consequences to their stupidity.

Honestly, I think people need to suffer the consequences of their
idiocy, otherwise how do you learn not to be an idiot?

You are sooooooo naive. You talk about those people that need to suffer the
consequences and yet you are headed right down that path and don't see it
coming.
You know the saying, you don't know enough to know that you don't know.
