This is what I said:

And your Reply:

Why don't you explain to me again why my initial post is incorrect.: You tried and you CANT!
Nowhere in your rant did you mention POWER, No where at all!
You tell us, in detail how transformers work, and give a whole lesson on ohms law that does ABSOULTELY NOTHING to refute my original post. You insist that if voltage goes up current must also. Duh. Since I was discussing power line transfer, and you failed to mention power at all, there seems to be no indication from your post that you were even aware of this. Your reply certainly did nothing to disprove my point. Now you try to say you agree and I am only validating your point?

I Never said you could "play with it". As a matter of fact I said "relativley" low current. Do a search on "relative". The current is lower RELATIVE to what is being delivered to the low voltage loads. Get it now? This is the point that set you off. You only solved part of the equation. You ignored POWER. You only considered voltage and current. Your bad.

FYI:
I can produce enough current with 120V (or less) to kill you. It only matters if your body resistance is low enough. SAFETY is not why it is stepped down, It is stepped down to recover the current that you need for your home. It is stepped down because your house can't use 24,000 volts.

This is what you said:

Please quote where I agree/repeated what you said about the insulators.
As I said, those insulators are used to prevent arc over from high VOLTAGE not high CURRENT. I can surely send 1000 amps (or more) down a wire at low voltage (lets say 12 volts) and I wont need a mica insulator. Wood would work fine. Even at 1000 amps. 12 volts will NEVER jump an arc through the air.

Lets see now:
1) Explain what was wrong with my first post.
2) Explain why wood can't be used for high current, (not high voltage) insulation.
3) Quote where I agree/repeated what you said about the insulators.
4) Explain why SAFETY is the reason why voltage is stepped down.
You tried to come off like some know it all and you got SPANKED!
You said I was wrong, now back it up or shut up!
Let the backpedaling begin!
