It shouldn't matter. Just like a bird can stand on a wire because its more
resistive then the wire itself.

No. It can do that because there's a single potential being contacted,
namely no current path through the bird.
You just have to make sure the wire is closer to the power lines than your
body so it doesn't arc to you to get to the wire. I suppose there might be
a conductive path through the ground too so maybe you gotta hop on one foot.

Bizarre.

This part of the discussion is getting WAY too political. I know you think
the establishment is a given, but in most of the world, governments come and
go and their "cops" get killed, and so do some of the "owners" and
"officials" who didn't have sense enough to grab their loot and run for the
border.

Bullshit. Electrical safety laws are never "Political". This is
just another attempt to change the subject because you are wrong, but
not man enough to admit it.

I won't stay and argue politics with you. I teach the advanced class, and
you need 101.
