But, this absolute fact, the stuff could have negative environmental effects! Take a six foot length of the stuff and wrap the first six inches of one end with black tape. Then, grasping the taped end (and, assuming you have a reasonable eye and reasonable hand/eye coordination), swing from the heels at every spotted owl you see.

OUCH!!!!

What about the environmental effects of mining all that copper? Haven't they closed the mines over in Elko NV? Maybe we could drill off the CA coast to get just enough hydrocarbons to make PEX pipe out of, now that it's been made legal. Oh, I know, now I've gone too far!!! (grin)
