Looking forward to a dim mercury-vapor-filled future, unless we can shed the likes of the Fred Upton’s, Myth Romney’s, Boehners... and shift to constitutional republicans dedicated to shrinking the federal (currently national) government leviathon.

Sadly, we've gotten to a place where many people just shrug their shoulders and go along meekly. A great number appear to feel like they can't fight back or that they lack any real power to ever do so; besides, they are too busy just trying to scratch out a living to worry about things like... light bulbs.

And so, for example, they rationalize their impotence by adopting the easy narcissism of the "Green" movement, where good intentions trump science, rights, or reason. In so doing, they abandon even the pretext of self-government, ceding the smallest of personal decisions (and responsibility for them) to a state all too willing to grasp them and never again let go.

A government powerful enough to dictate which light bulbs its citizens may purchase bears no resemblance to the former United States of America, but it certainly does resemble the old Soviet Union. Increasingly, so do many of its people.
