As you may have noticed I have coined the term S&Ms for <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> , because the (S)adistic electric<br />
companies are installing these monsters and it could only be (M)asochists who would want to Opt-In to have<br />
them installed. So, please use the S&M acronym freely when mentioning <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong> and share this email<br />
with others especially activists and groups.<br />
These are the Associated Problems I have experienced so far with the S&Ms that were installed on my home<br />
without my Opt-In permission or knowledge.<br />
Multiple CFL’s Blown out<br />
1 filament on 3 way incandescent bulb blown<br />
Answering machine lost message<br />
Neighbors meter within 15 ft of my head<br />
Difficulty getting and staying asleep<br />
Head ache in the morning.<br />
Difficulty thinking precicely.<br />
Am installing Solar PV electric system, meters not compatible.<br />
Hope This Helps. These S&Ms have got to go! D.W.<br />

I love my smart meter.<br />
We had a bee colony close to my meter. When the APS guys came to put in the smart meter, I warned them of<br />
it. One told me, “Don’t worry, this will get rid of them.”<br />
After a few days, they abandoned and never returned.<br />
So, I am a giant smart meter fan, since it got rid of possible killer bees. My bills are a little higher than<br />
comparable periods in the past, but I am willing to pay that price to stop worrying about the bees.<br />

Diane Nagby commented on the article (SDG&E: Few Have Health Complaints About <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong>): “It is<br />
clear there was no concern for the health or well-being of the general public prior to rolling out the smart<br />
meter. Auto companies are required to do recalls on automobiles when it is determined there is the slightest<br />
defect that may be a safety issue to consumers. Why are the utility companies not being held to the same<br />
standard of care as the auto industry? At least with an automobile we have the choice to pick and choose<br />
which model of car we want to drive. If we had the choice, would we choose an auto with a cancer-causing<br />
smart meter radiation device attached to it that radiates our children while we are driving them to school? I<br />
doubt it. Even if only 1 out of 10 are able to feel the harmful effects, isn’t that enough to stand up and say the<br />
utility companies should not be able to put our health and well-being in jeapordy? My mailman told me<br />
yesterday he has trouble sleeping since the installation of his smart meter. There are m!ore people affected by<br />
the radiation producing meter than you think. Even if you are not sensitive to the effects, you are still in the<br />
line of radiation. Just like cigarette smoke bothers some people and not others, but we are all exposed to the<br />
same carcinogenic effects just the same. Given the ridiculously high amount of our utility bills each month,<br />
don’t you think the utility companies can afford to correct the situation – - or does to much of our hard earned<br />
money go in to paying off the politicians to look the other way?”<br />
