[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 460290, member: 22374"] Long ago there was a TV show presented by John Stossel on potential "new" product developments where the audience got to vote yes or no on whether a product should be made. The actual device / invention was not described, only where and how it would be used and what benefit(s) it would have to humanity but... they also listed the potential danger (with some statistics) of injury and slim chance for death if the idea / invention was used. Invariably the audience soundly rejected the invention as being too dangerous and unsafe to be allowed to be brought to market. At the end of the show, Mr. Stossel revealed the inventions among them were... Electricity, automobiles and airplanes. He then admonished the audience for essentially being wussies who if history were left to them society would still be left in the dark ages. It was BRILLIANT! [/QUOTE]
