BillD,

"So, you're saying that if firemen are getting burned fighting fire, they need to seek better salves & bandages, rather than worry about installing sprinkler systems and encouraging noncombustible building materials? (I 'think' I have the format correct...☺)"

No, another logically flawed case. YOU are ignoring that what Gore is advocating is more like conting how many feet of hose are used rather than truning on the water. I would rather they put out the fire.
