Have you seen tree-trimming gone wrong? I've seen one death and one TBI (complete with dude hanging from a tree, massive pedunculated scalp lac, neighbor screaming for help from the ladder, holding the trimmer's unconscious body up, both of them covered in blood). As for home entertainment: I've seen lightning strikes where things weren't properly grounded, blew out whole blocks of network equipment and TVs. Maybe if our education system was more robust, we wouldn't have to legally constrain these people. But, as it turns out, society these days requires a bit more technical know-how and knowledge of risk-assessment than back in the glory days of the 1930s when digging ditches could earn you an honest living. People complaining about licensure laws are missing the bigger picture: the licensure laws are a symptom of the poor education system. We've been slowly backsliding into autocracy for a long time, and the education system is a major source of the problem.
