Question:

What is the purpose of a lightning rod attached to the roofline of a building?

Ben Franklin and his devotees have been selling lightning rods for decades. Please tell me as to how a one inch stranded alluminum cable can safely conduct millions of amperes of current [in a lightning bolt] to a ground rod connected to a lightning rod fastened to the ridgeline of a standard frame dwelling?I maintain that it cannot!I maintain that the lightning rod is designed to { disperse, dispense, discharge, emanate, release, drain-off } static electrical charges to the overhead clouds, thereby equalizing the potential difference between storm clouds and the surface of the earth in a localized area. When this balance exists, there is much less chance of a discharge in both directions between earth and clouds.If you disagree, please state your case in this matter. I'll listen:

Answer:

Somewhat, however one could hope some lessons are learned from this debacle.
Really weird ?s. Get a life freak. Doing it with another mans wife in there bed. That's the best.
All fun and games when you get a leak. Yes it is a quick fix, that might work. But ultimately if you don't create that seal on the joins, you will be cleaning up more mess than the grease you were talking about. Just by a snake for future. It will be on hand , when you need it, for your own home and investment properties.
Yes I can recall the good old days when we didn't have a bunch of people blaming America for everything and when we weren't overrun with illegal immigrants trying to change our culture and disrespecting our laws. I remember when you didn't have to worry about child predators because these people actually went to prison and stayed there. I remember watching Saturday afternoon baseball, Wide World of Sports and TV hows like Bonanza, and Gunsmoke that didn't have to have a bunch of sexual innuendo to be enjoyed by families. I remember a time when families stuck together like glue with very little divorces. I remember a time when there were a lot less crimes way before cell phones and video games when kids would play all day and their parents didn't have to worry about them. I remember a time when you could leave your doors and windows open and had no need to worry about someone breaking into your house. I remember when a bargain was truly a bargain and people didn't go around stabbing each other in the back. Yes greed and the love of money changed a lot of things for the worse and yes I do remember fondly the good ole days.
Yes, those were the days
