What a circus! Government has stooped to a new low, by passing a law that will ban the famous incandescent light bulb. All in the guise of saving the planet from Global Warming nonsense. Our government leadership actually believe that these little light bulbs will do anything more than make the producers of the new lighting rich? Consider this, the current cheapo light bulbs cost about $.50 cents. The new mercury laden low power consumption bulbs cost at least $3.00 each. In 2012, you will be FORCED to swap out all of our light bulbs, or at least will only be able to purchase the new ones, which will eventually FORCE you to swap out your light bulbs. What a crock! Government has many more pressing issues to consider, or should be anyway, than decided what free markets can and can not sell to consumers.
What is next, actual banned of SUVs, or how about Coca-Cola, bleach, cigarettes, liquor, mowing grass? Whatever the thugs think should be banned, in DC, will be! And what are you gonna say about it? Will you say anything at all? Perhaps you will roll over like a herd of sheep, and simply be clean shaven and sent to pasture.
You say its no big deal? Not until this wacko environmentalism goes so far that we won't be able to stop it, and it could very well be the undoing of America. Enjoy your banned light bulbs while you can.
