[Shotimes] Re: Window Tinting

[Donald Mallinson]

Windows for homes come with a UV treatment that blocks the 
heat rays and damaging UV rays, but not so much of the 
light.  I think some advanced window tints for cars can do 
the same thing.

As we know from sunburns, it is not the bright light of the 
sun that burns and causes heat, it is the other light 
output.  You can get a sunburn worse on a cloudy day because 
you "think" you are protected, but in truth, a cloudy day 
will burn you just as much as a cloudless day.

I prefer to see at night, and would hope I would not need 
the dark tint to hide from flying bullets!  (why do you 
think inner city youth/gangsters, had tint first, and why 
they lay seats back so they are down low and behind the 
center pillar?  To hide from being shot at!
