Buloney! Being scared of electricity is one of the factors that keeps most

You really are stupid, Josie. There is nothing scary about electricity,
certainly not home wiring.

If I wasn't scared of electricity I may not have survived many of the 14kV
&
27kV live line techniques used in my trade. I delat with live circuits
almost everyday of my life and I never got a shock, once in my career
because I was afraid of the ****. Oooops. correction.. I got zapped once
under a 220kV line off my ungrounded truck. Total surprise on the outside
of
the last phase, where it is strongest. (I've been zapped several times on
my
own personal projects where my guard was down)


Strawman stupid, Stupid.

People have to learn and when they do they respect electricity by first
being afraid of it.


Absolute nonsense.


You do things your way and let others do things their way. Remember
Captain Ahab's rule? "I will not have a man in my boat who is not
afraid of a whale"?

If you aren't afraid of the whale then you may be a fine whaler, but
don't apply to the Pequod for a job.

If a little bit of fear keeps one from getting killed, more power to it.
And if you think that household electricity can't kill you you're a
damned fool.
