I will admit you have me stumped. I can't figure out what you mean and your profile being empty doesn't give me any clues, unless you live on one of the moons of Jupiter, So:

"As evidenced by the "accidents" that keep our Fire, Hospital and Police personal so busy,"
== Battery Hydrogen just doesn't do that here so we have to rely on dopers or airheads with cell phones, driving SUVs.

"common sense is not the same everywhere to everyone."
==It has been everywhere I've been. The amount present varies but not the substance.

"OSHA and other occupational saftey people work with the insurance companies to reduce the rate of accidents where "common sense" has already failed "
== Sorry. I've been away from industry awhile and didn't know that "almost had an accident" was now a reportable.

"Smoke does not rise where it fails to heat stagnate air in a colum. "
== Huh???

"How is it that I may smell one odor of a thing and know that all of it is there but you think only some parts of it can ever really be. "
== Again, Huh? And the rest of it too.
I'm not trying to be a smartaxx here. I just can't figure out what you are trying to say or what your context could be.
As far as OSHA and Insurance companies, they create at least as many accidents as they prevent. Toss in EPA and you will know exactly why many jobs were outsourced to other countries.
All three entities have a valid and valuable function but lack of common sense, flexibility and junk science have steered them too far in the wrong direction.

I learned, "You can't legislate or regulate stupidity and morals," in high school. I've seen a lot of attempts but never a success.

I really don't think it is quite that simple.
We are at a level of technical ability to where we can determine the brand and expiration date of green cheese simply by taking a close look at the light reflected from it. We couldn't do that in 1969 but we certainly can now.

Remember, we occasionally hear the origin of a meteorite has been determined as "from the planet xxx?" via similar methods. Any fakery would quickly be determined now by looking back at '70s era lab notes of the people who studied the stuff. Too many people who are now widely scattered and separated from those notes and their old professions to even be worth considering a cover-up.

"The narrator in the UK is Robin Banks, a British guy (well, he's got an English accent anyway!). Weird that it's different here to in the US."

Ha! That is weird -- I always wonder about narrators in other countries. It's strange that they switch them out when both countries speak English. (Yeah yeah, here come the wise cracks about our butchering of your mother tongue, lol.)

I notice that the voices are different on certain children's shows, like Teletubbies and Bob the Builder. I mean, why?! As if my children can't understand Bob if he suddenly sounded British?

"Ok, ienjoyed the fact that Karrie got to torture Grant and Tory with peppers... but they forgot to test sugar. I want them to revisit this myth."

Yeah, there has been a huge amount of feedback on this myth. I used sugar after eating habeneros and I still thought I was going to die. It helped for a few seconds, though, that's for sure !

The only reason I say that is one of the replies on the you tube vids, the kid said that the episode wasn't aired in Germany at all. And metallic sodium can be purchased online as well as cesium. Not in very substantial amounts but its not like trying to get Pu239
