    Yeah, maybe it needs a Hedberg-ism to get it across to people.

    Electricity takes the path of least resistance. It takes the other paths, but it takes the least resistance path too.

      The problem I have with it is that it gives a false sense of security and how the world works. Most people think lightning rods attract the lightning and direct it into the ground because of this. 1/3 of the world has 220v and 110v connected directly into their showerhead without any idea why they don’t die from it.
