Thanks all,

My idea was the push or the big brother (in receivith of a bribith) to
force us here in Ontario to change our smoke detectors every 5 years. It
may even be so written into the insurance laws (or fine print on page 62
on bottom of incurance form) (in japanese) that the insurance company
will not pay out in the event of fire and your detectors are out of date
according to the provincial code. The insurance agents always inspect
for cause to back out.

But what is happening in Ontario (in my city now) is the fire department
going door to door inspecting. Now get this. If you do not have a Carbon
Monoxide Tester on Every floor and IN Garage (if attached) then they
cannot leave until you do. Now they will sell you them off their truck
and it is $41.00 Canadian each. I know this because they are in my
friend's neighborhood and he has single floor and was forced to buy one.
$41.00 on the spot. Now, he gave me name and model number and exact same
one can be shipped to your door from the Ebay or Amazon for $12.00
Canadian.

Smoke detectors as well. Our big brother nanny state, the now most
expensive on the planet, is growing at an alarming rate and I could tell
you a hundred more ridiculous and expensive stupidity my govt is doing
but this is an idea.

So why would a Deep Cycle Battery Manufacturer make a batter last longer
than time frame that they couldn't calculate within their projected
income reports? I mean you own a boat. And why would a Smoke Detector
Company manufacture you a detector that would last the lifetime of the
home? It wouldn't be prudent.

You don't think that the big pharma companies are counting on our big
brother health care team of doctors here in Ontario to continue pushing
big pharma pills and keeping the people swallowing these pills at an
alarming rate? We have a prescription pill for everything today and our
insurance govt regulated and created companies pay for it all, after
borrowing of course etc etc. Same ole same ole. I guarantee the pharma
giants are banking on us swallowing hand fills of their hugely
profitable pills for decades and quarters to come. I mean how do you
stop a 2 trillion per year industry. Answer, you don't.

Thanks boys, sorry about the long wind, love what I learned about smoke
detectors. Thanks. But here in Ontario, the need for replacement is
different than your need down south. It is not solely how much value or
price you would put on your families head. A Huge waste factor is there.
That is the scare marketing the teams will use. And use successfully.

I've never read so much BS in my life.
