Or have parents that are completley fearful about high voltage! I always 
tell everyone that the hardest part for me of building these things was 
convincing my parents. I had to have my physics teacher, electronics 
teacher, an electrical engineer, and my old science teacher who fooled 
around with these things all write a note saying that we knew what we were 
doing and wouldn't burn the house down before they even CONSIDERED letting 
me build these things... Even to this day, I still can't get any of the 
"impressive" stuff (anyting utility line related) so I'm currently limited 
(pun intended) to the "dinky" NST's and such. Oh well... I guess I still 
have more convincing to do. =D But I'm really glad that they have been as 
flexible as they are though. After all, I could be limited to only the 
"shuffle your feet across the carpet" method of making sparks! =D

Actually, from what I've seen, the best way to rid any interest in high
voltage is to have a parent that is completely
obsessed with high voltage!!!
