I (as a homeowner) can still do my own wiring on my house where I live,
legally. I upgraded my service shortly after moving into my house, and
had no problem getting the permit, getting it inspected, or dealing with
the utility company. I really doubt that'll change any time soon.
If you have problems where you are, maybe it's "time to move." :P

practical science, is exactly the part of H&S that I object to. I
was fortunate in that I did get to mess around with things that
could have been dangerous if misused -- HV power supplies, the
mains, evacuated galls vessels, sharp tools, etc and never had a
serious injury. Mainly because I thought about what I was doing
and took some care.
Isn't it EXTREMELY dangerous, and totally lacking in health and
safety consciousness, to raise an entire generation who never got
taught how to properly and safely wire a plug??????
