World still in the dark after politicians screw up Light of the world

Joe Farah thinks the ban on light bulbs is really just a government power play. I take it that he think that this is a trial balloon and if these fascists get away with total control over our light bulbs they will soon go for total control over our lives.

Joe is correct about the fascist power play and where it is all heading but he misses one point. Politicians are indeed that stupid! I mean, they believe that light bulbs will help save the world. Not Jesus, the Light of the world, mind you! Light bulbs! Need I say anything more?

So, now you know how many politicians it takes to screw up a light bulb.

War on perfectly good light bulbs

This action makes no sense for so many reasons, it’s tough to list them all. But let me try:

• Like I said, the action exceeds Congress’ authority. Show me where in the
  Constitution it empowers Congress to ban a perfectly safe and useful
  product in use for 100 years?
• There is no manmade, catastrophic global warming – the reason this and other draconian actions are being taken by lawmakers and policy wonks.
• Incandescent bulbs are less expensive than the fluorescent alternatives.
• You can actually buy incandescent made in the U.S. by U.S. companies – not true of fluorescents, virtually all made in China.
• Fluorescents are dangerous and contain trace amounts of mercury, a highly toxic
  substance environmentalists have been complaining about for years.
• Fluorescent bulbs are hideously ugly.
• Fluorescents don’t last as long as manufacturers claim.
• The light fluorescents cast is offensive to many, and studies claim it can be harmful to some.
• Fluorescents don’t come in all the sizes incandescent do.
• Fluorescents can’t be used in all places incandescents can.
• Whatever happened to choice?
