[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 451678, member: 6546"] Hello all-- I've been sick the last few days...and so have spent an unusual amount of time watching television... and I caught a show yesterday that about summed this whole regulation thing up. The gentleman said that every company calculates the value of monetary investment vs lives. Sad, but true. And often, to get improvements, there need to be enough deaths to outweigh the cost of regulations, recalls and re-designs. So every time you see a law or a warning that should be common sense, it is because enough people died to require it's posting. "Supervise Children on Playground Equipment" "Do Not Use Electrical Appliances in the Bathtub" "Stop for Pedestrians in Crosswalk" Etc [/QUOTE]
