I find it very interesting and telling that even though the pole was blatantly slanted to encourage people to vote in favor of this new code, still it is coming out in favor of no mandatory sprinklers. That should be a good indication of how sick and tired we are of being regulated over every little detail of our lives. What happened to freedom to choose? It should be MY CHOICE if I want to spend the extra money and get sprinklers installed and take the risks that go with sprinklers or stick with smoke detectors. It should be MY CHOICE if I even want to put in smoke detectors. Insurance incentives or disincentives will weigh into that decision also. It isn't about if it is a good idea to put in sprinklers, it is about whether it is MY idea--MY choice.

Inform me, then let me make up my own mind.
