You are right. After every hurricane I read about all of the people killed by flying flagpoles. Those thing are dangerous.

I once read a flagpole in Floriduh struck dozens in the head killing them all.

BTW, no sharp objects are allowed on top of flagpoles, such as plastic or metal eagles with sharp beaks or wings. In fact, if you want something to adorn the top of your flagpole, that takes a separate building permit.

But the government permit process is not too expensive and is relatively streamlined, and in many cases the paper work consist of only about 27 pages or so after permit fees have been paid.

Ahhhhhhhhhh the secret words Permit fees.

I once read that a tornado blew a piece of straw through a guy and killed him in Kansas. That was back in the 50s. I have also seen pictures where Tornadoes and Hurricanes have blown straw and similar small objects into trees and telephone poles. So, I guess the next move is to require permits for buying straw or hay. Excuses for requiring permits for anything abound in this country, most of the excuses are BS and cover ups for the fact that the permitting process is simply a way to grab more money from residents.
