What is the speaker's opinion about watching the eclipse and the risks involved in doing so? Why is it important to stay safe during such events?
Smart People will just stay home and ignore it.  WhoopDedo...........How is watching this event going to enhance your life?  Bragging rights down at the local watering hole or backyard barbecue?  Gee, we saw the eclipse, OK, who cares?   Risking your safety by being in the traffic jams, people driving while rubber necking, there will be many  DRUNK and DRUG impaired people out there driving.  My family will stay home and be safe.  There will be vehicle  accidents and possibly some deaths.  Ask Dr. Phil about this event, he would say, "Well, thats just plain "STUPID".
