Re: It's not so smart to have a 'smart meter'

Each day we encounter hazards.......some people are affected by some hazards...some are not...which goes to show that each of us is unique and individual.
How we approach hazard and risks depends on how important what we need to do, is to us(as an individual).
I am allergic to penicillin...but Less, you may not be....indeed you may proclaim it to be a wonder drug which has saved your life......but for me it would be a killer.
It is about choice...and knowing ourselves.

We all have a fair idea of our tolerances....and base our lives on these...we make a choice as to the risks we are prepared to take and those which we are not.

The smart meters will not improve my life.......they will not reduce the cost of the energy that I use......the only people who will benefit from them are the energy suppliers.
I was not put on this earth to make life sweeter for them.....so until one of these smart meters is SO damn smart that it can do the cooking, the cleaning, and go out and bring in a living wage....I will decline the offer. That is my choice.
