A kid's accidental death is always tragic, but characterizing pools as a deathtrap is patently ridiculous. Kids have fatal accidents everywhere; pools are just a convenient target of busy-body do-gooders that like to dictate to society.TJandTheBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735388072841457108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-36751660478276304452010-03-07T07:42:40.196-08:002010-03-07T07:42:40.196-08:00How is that such a load of crap?
From my perspect...How is that such a load of crap?<br /><br />From my perspective, a pool subtracts from the value of a house. Even if you don't have small kids, the maintenance costs far outweigh the enjoyment most people could reasonably get out of them. And if you're paying a million bucks for a tract home because it's close to the beach, why not go to the beach?W.C.
