I don't know how that lightning got there.
What do you propose the govn should use?
A course on actual vs. perceived risk.
". . .that people will accept risks 1,000 greater if they are voluntary (e.g. driving a car) than if they are involuntary (e.g. a nuclear disaster)."
So far, the likelihood of you or I getting this is about equal to being hit by lightning (not that shown, of course).
BTW, I used to have hair like in the photo, but not quite that long.
Regarding Mr. Hodgkins, I've heard that you are supposed to hate and confront him, every single day. You're probably already doing that.
