Re: Downed power lines

This part of the discussion is getting WAY too political. I know you think
the establishment is a given, but in most of the world, governments come and
go and their "cops" get killed, and so do some of the "owners" and
"officials" who didn't have sense enough to grab their loot and run for the
border.

When someone posts in this thread something that has nothing to do with
downed power lines I can only assume they have nothing to say about
downed
power lines.


What an I say? Buy yourself a scanner and listen to the utility
company's two way radios till you hear of a HV power line that is down
and rush to the scene to see what they go through to stay alive. They
may even have you arrested for interfering with the restoration of a
public utility. There is nothing imaginary about electric companies,
your state's public utilities commission (PUCO) and the thousands of
laws regarding electrical safety. In case you don't know it, most HV
power lines that come down do so during storms, with lots of rain or ice
buildup on the wires.
